Half levels are calculated on the fly as a quadratic mean of the intervening levels: $$CPM_{level+.5} = \sqrt{ \frac{CPM_{level}^2 + CPM_{level+1}^2}{2}}$$ This formula formula can be rearranged as follows: $$CPM_{level+.5} = \sqrt{ CPM_{level}^2 - \frac{CPM_{level}^2}{2} + \frac{CPM_{level+1}^2}{2} }$$ We can define a new variable CPMStep as: $$CPMStep = \frac{CPM_{level+1}^2 - CPM_{level}^2}{2}$
