Tip:
If the Min_value and Max_value tag parameters are set, any generated tag values are overridden.
The supported functions for the Formula tag parameter are 
sin
cos
tan
power
log
exp
rand
sqrt
We recommend that you use a cyclic function in the formula. The parameter t represents Unix time in milliseconds. When using trigonometric functions such as sine, adjust the period of the function by dividing t by 10,000, for example, sin(t/10000).
