Performing Waveform Math
The Math menu contains several mathematical functions to be performed
on arbitrary waveforms. The first three (add, subtract, and multiply)
combine two operands while the remaining functions are performed on a
single operand. All of the mathematical operations can be undone if
necessary. Choose Edit | Undo from the Menu Bar to return the
waveform to its original shape.
Add
The Math | Add... command performs a point-by-point addition of the
selected waveforms.
Subtract
The Math | Subtract... command performs a point-by-point subtraction
of the selected waveforms.
Multiply
The Math | Multiply... command performs a point-by-point
multiplication of the selected waveforms.
To perform addition, subtraction, and multiplication operations, one of
two sequences must be followed:
• Select two operands (segments or parts of the waveform) on which to
perform a mathematical operation. The Clipboard is used to store the
first operand.
• Select a segment or part of the waveform as the first operand and
use a standard waveshape as the second operand.
