Add a channel that calculates the integral of the data in an existing hardware channel.

The Integral channel produces a new value based on integrating the data in a channel in the system.

  1. On the Channel Specification toolbar, select Add channel » Calculation » Integral.
    FlexLogger opens a configuration dialog.
  2. Click Data source. Select the channel that generates the data you want to integrate.

    If no channels appear in the selector, ensure that you have configured channels in your Channel Specification.

    After you configure the data source, you can see the live value reflecting the integrated data. You can use the Integral channel like any other channel defined in the Channel Specification.
  3. Optional: Update the Name and specify a Description for the calculated channel.
  4. Optional: Specify the Unit that results from integrating the data.
  5. Optional: Check Reset when test starts to perform the calculation using all the data you collected for the channel since starting the test. Uncheck Reset when test starts to use all the data you collected for the channel since opening the project.
  6. Click Done.
    FlexLogger adds the calculated channel at the top of the Channel Specification.
Note Calculated channel data is logged with all other channels configured in your Channel Specification. For more information on logging data, refer to Defining Your Test Configuration.
