7.11.1 Arithmetic types
The parameter ARITH_TYPE determines how PV and the compensation terms (t) are
combined. You may select from nine commonly used math functions depected below.
COMP_HI and COMP_LO are compensation limits.
If there is a divide by zero and the numerator is positive, f is set to COMP_HI; if the
numerator is negative, then f is set to COMP_LO.
The square root of a negative value will equal the negative of the square root of the
absolute value. Imaginary roots are not supported.
