NOTE FOR BOTH APPLY BUTTONS: Before implementing the Apply or Apply to New Graph, the
Software checks the formula for syntax errors (such as unbalanced brackets) and evaluation
errors (such as division by zero or square root of a negative number). If there is an evaluation
error, the program will ask for confirmation that a "missing point" for that value should be
plotted (i.e. no point visible). Later actions such as integration and exporting of data will leave
this point out. If you receive continual requests for missing points, the formula may be invalid
for a large range, such as Sqr(V) when V ranges from -5 to +5 VDC.
