Add Derived Channels

>>> EDIT Add Devived Channel

This function is used to add a channel to the active dataset. Selecting the Add Derived Channel function displays the Add Derived Channel Dialog Box. Derived channels are calculated from channel data that is already contained in the dataset. For example, we can derive Absolute Humidity from Temperature and . We can derive the equivelent Wind Chill Temperature from Temperature and Wind speed.

• Select the type of derived channel you wish to add to the dataset (Note: select the correct type for the units used in the dataset)
• Select the logger channels to be used to calculate the derived channel
• Click on the Create New with Derived Channel button
• A Save AS dialog box will ask for a name for the new derived dataset

You can now List, graph and report on the new derived channel as if it was any ordinary dataset channel

More than one derived channel can be added to a dataset. For example if we are working with a dataset that has Maximum and Minimum Temperature and Relative Humidity we could add Maximum Absolute Humidity, Minimum Absolute Humidity, Maximum and Minimum Dew Point.
