Some rules to remember when you create your question set:
A question can contain text and an equation but an answer can only contain text or an equation.
An equation cannot be set as the correct answer for numeric and text questions. However, you can configure your text question so that the expected answer is an equation. Simply tick the setting Answer is an equation in the question properties field. When the ActivExpression2 device answers this question they are able to send an equation answer.
To edit an equation double click on the equation or select it and click on the Equation Editor button for that area of the question.
