4.10.5 / (Division)
Parameter
Definition
Input channel
Channel whose sample values are to be divided by a number
Value
Numerical value by which the sample values of the 1st parameter are to be divided
Result
Channel whose values are all divided by the number specified.
Description: The basic arithmetical operation Division is performed. The function follows the formula:
y [k] = u [k] / c, c 0
where k is the serial index, c a numerical constant, u is the input channel and y the result channel.
Notes: The numerical value must be specified in the physical units of the input channel. In physical units
of the input channel, the value may not be 0.
Data types:

4.10.6 1/x (Inverse)
Parameter
Definition
Input channel
Channel whose sample values are to be inverted
Result channel
Inverse values of the input channel's sample values.
Description: The values from input channel are inverted. An input channel sample value of 0.0 is set as
0.0 in the result channel.
Notes: The results of the Inverse-function can be imprecise. It is therefore recommended to re-scale the
input channel accordingly.

4.10.7 Absolute value
Parameter
Definition
Input channel
The absolute values of this channel's samples are taken.
Result channel
Channel with the absolute values of the input channel's sample values.
Description: The absolute value of the input channel's sample values is determined. Positive values
remain unaffected, negative values' signs are inverted. This function simulates an ideal rectifier.
