Behavior. You can use any of the channels as arguments for the function. You can also create nested functions by inserting one
function into the argument portion of another.
Consider the following when working with math waveforms:
â–
Scale and position the source waveform so it is contained on-screen; off-screen waveforms may be clipped, resulting in
errors in the math waveform.
â–
Use the vertical position and vertical offset to position the source waveform. The vertical position will not affect the math
waveform unless you position the source waveform off screen so that it is clipped.

Absolute value
Inserts the text FABS( into the math expression. The FABS function takes the absolute value of the expression.
Arc sine
Inserts the text ASIN( into the math expression.
Arc cosine
Inserts the text ACOS( into the math expression.
Arc tangent
Inserts the text ATAN( into the math expression.
Average
Inserts the text AVG( into the math expression. Enter an argument to the function. The average function produces the average of
the argument.
Base 10 logarithm
Inserts the text LOG( into the math expression. Enter an argument to the function. The log function produces the base
10 logarithm of the argument.
Cosine
Inserts the text COS( into the math expression.
Derivative
Inserts the text DIFF( into the math expression. Enter an argument to the function. The derivative function produces the
derivative of the argument.
Hyperbolic sine
Inserts the text SINH( into the math expression.
Hyperbolic cosine
Inserts the text COSH( into the math expression.
Hyperbolic tangent
Inserts the text TANH( into the math expression.
Integral
Inserts the text INTG( into the math expression. Enter an argument to the function. The integral function produces the integral of
the argument.
