47.4.4 Overview of X–Y data operations

You can derive new X–Y data by operating on previously saved X–Y data objects. This overview lists the operations you can perform on X–Y data. You can also operate on history data during the save procedure. For more information, see Saving an X–Y data object, Section 47.2.7.

The following keys are used to classify function arguments:

Text keys for X–Y operations:

AThe argument can be an X–Y data object, a floating point number, or an integer.
XThe argument must be an X–Y data object.
I The argument must be an integer.
F The argument must be a floating point number.

The following list indicates the section where you can find more information for each X–Y data operation.
