Define custom calculator functions

Creates a custom function that can be used from the Equations tab on bb. It allows for any kind of manipulation of the variables, but it doesn’t allow for two-way calculations i.e.: the variable calculated using this function cannot be later modified by the user.

Warning

The function must be a return function.

Syntax

omni.define('name', function(argument1, argument2,...) {
    // your code goes here
});

Arguments

name (string)

This is the name of your function as a string. This is the same name you will use to call the function from the Equations tab on BB.

Type	Required
string	YES

function

A function must be provided. It is the code that will be run everytime the calculator needs to compute the associated variable. This function can have any number of input arguments, including none. As mentioned before it must be a return type meaning it needs to have an output.

Type	Required
function	YES
