More formal way to introduce a case in a heading than starting "If you want to...."
Is there any more formal way suitable to rewrite the following for an instructional technical document?
<If you want to know the result of the calculation of A when B is completed>
<If you want to know the effect of the C when D is transmitted>
Thank you all for the comments. I appreciate them!

To raise the level of formality, you could try the following:
If you would like to know....
If you would be interested to know...
For those interested in finding out the result of ..... (although this is more common for an interactive lecture style rather than a technical paper)
Hope that helps.

In my experience writing technical and scientific papers, it's best not to include pronouns. I would write something like:
"to obtain the result of the calculation of A when B is completed, do blah blah blah" or "to measure/understand the effect of C when D is transmitted, ..."

The questions are straightforward. They seem appropriate to me for inclusion in a technical document.
Should you wish to be provided with calculation A's results, once B's calculations are known, ....
Should you wish to be provided the effects of C, upon the discovery of the effects of D, ....
Those are my own suggestions.
