Python

import nex
doc = nex.GetActiveDocument()
baseLine = 10.0
doc["subtractedBaseLine"] = nex.ContAdd(doc["FP01"], -baseLine)

# you can also use arithmetic operations on continuous variables:
doc["subtractedBaseLine"] = doc["FP01"] - baseLine

doc["average of FP01 and FP02"] = ( doc["FP01"] + doc["FP02"] ) / 2

NexScript

doc = GetActiveDocument()
baseLine = 10.0
doc["subtractedBaseLine"] = ContAdd(doc["FP01"], -baseLine)
