Function Blocks

Introduction

With a so-called function block it is possible to mathematically connect input channels of a measuring point. The calculation results are available in the output channels of the measuring point.

Note: The function blocks described below usually expect input values in a certain unit. Accordingly, only channels that are compatible with the respective function block can be chosen as input channels.

General Function Blocks

Name	Application	Application example
Delta reference measurement	Calculates the delta of the last reference measurement	Measurements, where only the difference to a reference value is of interest
User-defined formula	Calculates up to 8 input values using a formula defined by the user	Temperature compensation for a sensor value
Inclinometer chain - differential deformation	Calculates the differential deformation from the entries in an inclinometer chain	Incline measurements
Inclinometer chain - deformation	Calculates the deformation from the entries in an inclinometer chain	Incline measurements
Inclinometer chain - Borehole trajectory	Calculates the borehole trajectory from the entries in an inclinometer chain	Incline measurements
Water level gauge	Evaluates measured values from a water level gauge and outputs differences from the reference point	Location measurements
Camber	Calculates camber from the incline measurement of a gauging section	Monitoring of rail tracks
Track distortion	Calculates distortion from the incline values of two gauging sections	Monitoring of rail tracks

Function blocks specifically for tachymetric data
