Using Math in Parameters and Constants
Parameters and constants are text replacements in a formula and can be defined using simple math and numbers that are known. For more information on parameters and constants please see this article
The following are valid examples:
param #Valid = 52 /// <desc>This is a valid parameter</desc>
#Valid
Click to copy
52 is a known value so it works as a valid parameter
param #Valid = C /// <desc>C is also valid, so are O, H, L and V system functions</desc>
Click to copy
The values O, H, L, C and V are also valid as they are system functions and considered a known value
param #Valid = C-52 /// <desc>Simple math can be used with known values</desc>
Click to copy
Simple mathematical operators can be used with known values, these include +, -, *, /
param #X = C /// <desc></desc>
param #Y = 52 /// <desc></desc>
const #Valid = #X - #Y /// <desc>This is valid because #X and #Y are valid variables and we are using simple math</desc>
Click to copy
In this example the constant is valid because both the #X and #Y parameters are valid and you can perform simple math with valid parameters or constants
The following examples are not valid:
param #X = 52 /// <desc></desc>
param #NotValid = #X \ C /// <desc>Not simple math i.e. +,-,*,/</desc>

In this example parameter #X is valid but parameter #NotValid will not work because integer divide "\" is not considered simple math
