Function: Sqr
Calculates the square of a number. DIAdem uses the DIAdem function Sqr if you use the FormulaCalc command in your script, otherwise DIAdem uses the VBS function Sqr, which calculates the square root.
ReturnValue = SQR(Value)
Input Parameters
| Value | Specifies a numeric value, a variable, or a data channel. |
Return Parameters
| ReturnValue | Returns positive values. |
The following example squares the values in the Group1/Input data channel and saves the result in the Group2/Result data channel.
| VBScript | Python |
Call FormulaCalc ("Ch('Group2/Result'):= SQR ('Group1/Input')")
 | Note You must use the commands Calculate or FormulaCalc in scripts in order to calculate data channels with formulas. Compute the data channels according to the syntax in the Calculator. Refer to the procedures Executing Channel Calculations in the Calculator and Assigning a Value to a Variable in the Calculator for more information about the Calculator. |
 | DIAdem specifies the physical result quantity with the physical dimensions of the input quantities. The Input and Result Quantities for Quantity-Based Calculations page contains an overview of the input quantities and result quantities of all functions. Refer to the Help page Calculating Quantity-Based and Non-Quantity-Based in DIAdem for the conditions and rules for quantity-based calculations. |
