Before you can edit a formula, you first have to open it. To do this, double-click on the formula in the object list. A window appears where you can then edit the formula. Use the scripting language FPScript for the code of the FPScript formula and the Python language for the code of a Python formula.
The window for editing formulas has three views. Edit the formula in the Code view. In the Data view, the current result of the formula is displayed numerically. The Data view corresponds in its functionality to a read-only Data window. In the Presentation view, the result is displayed as a curve and you can use the cursors to take measurements.
The formula editor works like a common input box. Use the following keys to navigate:
