Excel Calculator Unit Operation

● Same icon as the normal calculator

but choose ‘Use Excel Procedure’

● Define parameters, results,

constants, etc., as always

● Similar to Excel Unit operation but

more powerful

● Similar to Calculator block but no

FORTRAN coding needed for

procedure section

● Select Excel File (template available)

and edit it

2014 Software Global Client Conference
