Calculate Windspeed/Beaufort - Formula Problem

Post by giuliano »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to calculate the Windspeed into Beaufort.
Unfortunately I cant figure out how to get it working.

here is my code:

Code: Select all

[MeasureBeaufort]
MeasureName=MeasureWindCurrent
Measure=Calc
Formula=ROUND((((%1*1000)/3600)/0,836)**(2/3))

[MeterBeaufort]
MeasureName=MeasureBeaufort
Meter=String
X=145
Y=12r
FontFace=#FontFace#
FontColor=#FontColor3#
FontSize=7
StringAlign=LEFT
StringStyle=NORMAL
AntiAlias=1
First issue is how to include the wind measure value into the beaufortmeasure.
Second is, that even without getting the correct windspeed into the formula, the formula doesnt work. It always equals 0. BTW: I tested that by putting a number into the formula instedt of the variable %1

Thanks 4 ur help (:
