A new instruction will added in v11 for Pow. In the meantime you can use this formula:
I have found a mathematical equivalent if the Prorealtime LOG function (called Napierian log in the manual) is actually the common LN function:
y = x^p = e^(p*LN(x))
This could then be coded as: y = EXP(p*LOG(x)) This works fine.
For negative exponent, use this formula:
y = 1/(EXP(p*LOG(x)))

What if I want to usean exponent different than 2?
