Data Acquisition Toolbox

Defining a New Measurement Type

You define a new measurement type by defining a MATLAB function that takes an array of data as input and returns a scalar value. You can define a new measurement type these two ways:

• If the Measurements panel is displayed, select New from the Type menu.
• Use the Measurement Type pane of the Measurement Editor.

As shown below, a new measurement type that calculates the absolute value is defined via the Measurements panel. The resulting measurement is the absolute value of the CH0 data.
