Functions

The Functions tab allows users to use complex calculations based on ASCMO Functional Mock-up Units (FMU) in an easy way.

The usage of an FMU is comfortable as you only have to assign the needed input signals. The calculated outputs are available in the Variable Explorer and can be used like normal signals.

The Functions editor is divided into the following areas:

No.	Description
	List of all instances As soon as you have created your own function instance, by selecting a predefined function and assigning inputs to it, the instance is displayed in the area Function Instances.
	List of all functions In the Function Library, the list of all available predefined functions and loaded FMUs is shown.
	Fields to define an instance To define an instance, select from the drop-down-menu one of the available predefined functions. To map measure signals to the inputs of the function, drag the measure signals onto the Inputs block. The Outputs block shows you which calculations the chosen predefined function will provide.
