Math channels in RS3
I need to add a math channel in RS3 and I am not sure how to do this. The situation I have is I have added a steering angle sensor that has the data coming over via CAN2. Unfortunately the steering angle value has 2 values that come over. The actual angle channel is an always positive value. There is an additional channel that indicates direction (channel is either 0 or 1- +/- or R/L depending on how you want to look at it. How can I create a math channel that will show a positive value for turning left and negative for turning right?
The 2 channels are named "STEER_ANG" and "STR_ANG_SIGN"
TIA.

Ah, sorry I guess I misunderstood -- I thought you were asking about the Analysis program. I'm afraid I don't know how you put math channels in for use in the other module(s).

You want to put it in analysis as a math channel. Add it to the general page and then it will be in all your files when you download them. I'll look at the math tomorrow (really later today).

BTW, my flow is to write the channel "code" in the math channel tab for an open session that includes the measures that make up the formula elements. The "Test" button works in that context. If you copy the formula to the general tab and hit "Test" button there, then the test will indicate an error for the first mentioned measure from the session specific set of gathered data.
So my workflow is: open a session, work up the formula and test it, copy to general tab (via the funky add/paste sub-window), make sure to check the "Automatically insert in files" (and I do the "overwrite" check box too because I consider the stash in the general tab to be the master copies of my formulae). That way, as Matt says, every time you open a new data file the math channels are there (...which makes sure that any user profiles that use math channels for display look like they should would extra mouse work).
