Notes on syntax
• The decimal delimiter is "."
• Numbers may be entered as exponentials using "e", i.e "10.0e2" equals 100.
• No other characters including "," and " " (space) may be used in numbers.
• A left parenthesis "(" must follow a function name.
• ";" is used as the parameter delimiter.
• A right parenthesis ")" must follow the parameter list.
• A function must be supplied with its correct number of parameters.
• Some functions have additional requirements to produce meaningful results,
such as that one parameter must contain zero-transitions. These are noted in
the "Information" section displayed when the function is selected in the
function list.
• Formula names may only contain the letters a-z, the numbers 0-9, and
underscores.
• Formula names must begin with a letter a-z.
• Each left parenthesis "(" must be matched with a right parenthesis ")".
• Any missing right parenthesis ")" will be assumed to be positioned at the
end of the formula.
• Channel names must be enclosed in square brackets "[", "]" .
• Channel names consist of three parts appearing in this order: the site
definition, the channel definition, and the series definition. These must be
separated by ".".
• The site definition must begin with the string "Site " followed by a number.
Site 1 is considered to be the first site added to the document, site 2 the
second, etc.
• Site definitions must specify an existing site.
• If no site definition is present, site 1 is assumed.
• Channel definitions consist of the channel's phase followed by the channel's
name, without any delimiters or spaces.
• Channel definitions must be present in a channel name.
• Channel definitions must specify an existing channel.
• Valid series definitions are: "VAL", "MIN", "AVG", and "MAX".
• If no series definition is present, "AVG" is assumed if present, otherwise
"VAL".
• Formulas may not contain any expressions except channel names, functions,
parentheses, parameter delimiters, and the operators +, -, * and /, not even
spaces " ".
