The result of max(abs(A)) in formula editor for numeric object (line by line)is max (A), not considering the negative part
The formula editor (line by line) calculates the complete formula line by line. There are no intermediate channels available but only individual values for each line. Therefore a max() operation can be done only with a direct input channel as argument (max(A)). Then it takes for each line the maximum of the input channel A. Also it does only know the last used input channel was A but not, that another operation was done in between (as max(abs(A))). Therefore any statistical function (max(), min(), …) is only allowed with an input channel as direct argument. In the past we had no statistical functions in this formula editor. But customers wanted formulas as "A - min(A)“ which works as long as these statistical values have only a direct input channel as argument.
