Using the defined time step and time span (beginning to end), the values of the function in particular time points are generated according to the defined mathematical expression with the T variable. The points with function values are saved to the table located in the Points tab of the Time function definition dialog.
The following operations and functions are allowable.
- Arithmetical operations of the type: sum "+", subtraction "-", multiplication "*", division "/"
- Trigonometric functions: SIN, COS, TG, ARCTG Note: the arguments of trigonometric functions can be defined in degrees or radians.
- square root function SQRT
- power function "^".
Examples of expressions:
0.5*sin(T+180)
T^2+3 *SQRT(T).
