Inter- and Intra-Trace Math and Operand Setup Menus
INTER-TRACE MATH Menu
This menu allows operand setting and then mathematical comparisons between a user-defined trace 1 (one) and trace 2 (two). The two traces values can be added together, subtracted from each other, multiplied, or divided.

Toggles Inter-Trace Math off and on.
Operand 1 Area
Op. 1 Trace #
Operand One Trace Number. Select displays the Op 1 Trace # field toolbar which allows selection of the trace number of trace math operand 1 (one).
(Op. 1) Type (Data/MemMath)
The Operand 1 Type toggle button switches between DataMemMath and Data for Operand 1.
Operand 2 Area
Op. 2 Trace #
Operand Two Trace Number. Select displays the Op 2 Trace # field toolbar which allows selection of the trace number of trace math operand 2 (two).

See below for button function descriptions.
INTRA TRACE OP. Menu Button Selection Group
The four (4) buttons of the INTRA TRACE OPERATIONS menu form a button selection group where the selection of any one (1) button de-selects the other three (3) buttons.
Operation Area
Op1 + Op2 (Operand Plus)
The trace value assigned to Operand 1 is added to the trace value assigned to Operand 2.
Op1 – Op2 (Operand Subtraction)
The trace value assigned to Operand 2 is subtracted from the trace value assigned to Operand 1.
Op1 * Op2 (Operand Multiplication)
The trace value assigned to Operand 1 is multiplied times the trace value assigned to Operand 2.
Op1 / Op2 (Operand Division)
The trace value assigned to Operand 1 is divided by the trace value assigned to Operand 2.
