    99Description 
    1010----------- 
    11 This dialog panel provides arithmetic operations between two data sets (the  
    12 last data set could be a number). 
    1311 
    14 When data1 and data2 are selected, their x (or qx and qy for 2D) value(s) 
    15 must match with each other. 
     12This tool permits arithmetic operations between two data sets. Alternatively,  
     13the last data set can be a number. 
     14 
     15*NOTE! When* Data1 *and* Data2 *are both data, their Q (or Qx and Qy for 2D)  
     16value(s) must match with each other UNLESS using the 'append' operator.*

    1920How To 
    2021------ 
    21 1. Type the data name resulted from an operation. 
    2222 
    23 2) Select a data/theory in the drop down menus. When data2 is set to number,  
    24    type a number in the text control box. 
     231) Enure you have loaded data into the *Data Explorer* (see :ref:`Load_Data`). 
    2524 
    26 3) Select an arithmetic operator symbol; + (for addition), - (for subtraction),  
    27    * (for multiplication), / (for division), and | (for combination of two data 
    28    sets). 
     252) Select *Data Operation* from the *Tool* menu on the SasView toolbar. 
    2926 
    30    If two data sets do not match, the operation will fail and the background color 
    31    of the combo box items will turn to red (WIN only). 
     273) Select a dataset/theory in the drop-down menu *Data1*. A mini-plot of the 
     28   data will appear underneath. 
    3229 
    33 4) If the operation is successful, hit the Apply button to make the new data. 
    34    Then the data name will be shown up in the data box in the data explorer. 
     304) Select a dataset/theory in the drop-down menu *Data2* or select *Number*  
     31   and enter a number in the box that appears alongside. 
    3532 
    36 Note: Any errors and warnings will be displayed at the bottom of the SasView 
    37 window. 
     335) Select an arithmetic operator symbol from the *Operator* drop-down. The  
     34   available operators are: 
     35    
     36*  + (for addition) 
     37*  - (for subtraction),  
     38*  * (for multiplication) 
     39*  / (for division) 
     40*  | (for combination of two data sets) 
     41 
     42   If two data sets do not match, the operation will fail and the background  
     43   color of the combo box items will turn to red (WIN only). 
     44 
     456) If the operation is successful, hit the Apply button to make the new dataset. 
     46   The new dataset will appear in the *Data Explorer*. 
     47 
     48*NOTE! Any errors and warnings will be displayed at the bottom of the SasView 
     49window.*
