The Calculator Panel is responsible for performing the computations. It is the interactive area of the page where inputs are entered and outputs are returned.
The calculator Panels share a standard format throughout the program. There are two types: Basic, featuring one single equation like the IBW below -exhibit 2-. And the Master level type, featuring multiple equations for combined calculations.
Calculator Panels have a very standard architecture, see below.
