4.3.6 MX+B

Definition

This mathematical function multiplies a measurement reading (X) by a

specified scale factor (M) and add an offset (B) automatically. The

answer (Y) will then be shown on the display according to the following

equation.

Y=MX+B

This is especially useful when user needs to do slope calculations on a

series of measurements.

The values of the “M” and “B” can be changed through the configuration

of this function and they are stored in a volatile memory and will be

cleared after the meter has been turned off or a remote interface reset.

User can either use front panel or remote interface to perform this

function and set these two constant.

How to use MX+B function

You can use MX+B function from the front panel operation or the remote

interface operation.

Front Panel Operation
