Calculated Column

The data gathered from certain sensors need to be calculated in order to be displayed in particular units. For example, the Heart Rate Monitor collects data as raw voltage (labeled as "Signal"). However, for it to make any sense, it must be converted to Beats Per Minute. The signal (raw voltage) and time are the variables used in an equation to determine the Beats Per Minute.

To change the options of a calculated column, choose Column Options from the Data menu and select the name of the column you want to change.

Column Definition Tab
