It can calculate new values for each spot using the intensities and 
other already existing extra values. It uses the JEP (Java Expression 
Parser; http://www.singularsys.com/jep/) for parsing the formula used to 
calculate the extra values. The extra values are stored in the database.

All extra values must be registered by a server administrator before it 
can be used. It was a requirement made by our user group. The "External 
ID" allows you to reference the calculated values later on. You can for 
example use them in filters, and for doing more calculations. If you for 
example have an extra value called 'x' you could create a filter:
xtra('x') > 0

or create a new extra value: logx = log(xtra('x'))
