The Calculation Step will perform a mathematical calculation using values.
To configure this in the sequence editor, select measurements and click the edit icon for further options.
The calculation editor allows you to build formulas on the right-hand side, then test a calculation by entering values for a,b,c & d, on the right-hand side.
Below are Calculation Values and their details.

Error 5000 Sequence Aborts during Calculation
If you get a sequence aborted and an Error 5000 code
This is because Tascus has not been able to find all values for the calculation from the database. This usually occurs when there is a special (unicode) character within the step description.
e.g. Step Description = Measurement (90°)
is saved in the database as Measurement (90°)
What's happening here, is that the step name in saved in the database in a slightly different format , and Tascus can not make an exact match of the value it is searching for.
This is a known issue, and we are working on a resolution.
In the meantime, there are 2 solutions:
Do not include any special characters within step descriptions
Run the measurements and the calculations in one run in the same sequence, with no pausing and resuming.
Method 2 works because Tascus will get the measurement values from local memory, rather than from the database.
