Modify a variable with a simple a mathematical formula - Possible or not?

Hi all

I wonder if there are a way of modify a variable with a simple a mathematical formula.

I am building a graphical scale. I receive the weight via RS232, this works perfect.

Let say a person stands on the scale - i get the value 70 (kilos) into a
variable. I show this on the screen with Live Text.
When a button is pushed i want to modify the
variable to how much the persons weight is on the moon.
I want to do this
Change
variable :
variable x 0,165 = new variable
70x0,165=11,55

I can now
show this new variable on the screen with Live Text.
"Your weight on the moon is 11,55Kg"

Is this possible to do internally on Brightsign / BrightAuthor

    You won't get that in standard BrightAuthor functionality.
    You'll either need to write a plugin (in BrightScript), or do it in a HTML5 state with Javascript.

    For your example, I would do the whole thing as an HTML5 page with Javascript to do the calculations.  That would give you the most style/display flexibility and easy math manipulation.
