Using Variables and Traces

Trace Math Rule 4

￿For greatest , use single point destinations, such as a trace element or a variable.

If the destination consists of multiple points, the math functions round the sources ￿rst, then perform the requested operation. If the destination is a single point, the math functions compute the results in ￿oating point, and then rounds the results if necessary. The following example shows how the product of 2.45 and 3.45 is 6 or 8 depending on the destination.
