You can create and modify derived variables through Monitor Properties by following the same procedures given for Workspace > Workspace Properties. For details, see Derived Variables Tab.
Check the boxes beside derived variables to apply them by default to all monitor variables plotted in the current monitor. Any new monitor variable added to this plot will then automatically have the derived variable applied. You can add or remove derived variables from individual plot lines in the Plot Lines tab.
Note: Derived variables are common to the workspace. Any modifications to a derived variable definition will affect all monitors that use it.
