MATH Menu
Mathematical operations are performed on the readings obtained from the main
measurement function in strict left-to-right order. All operations are independently
selectable. The activation of any math operation displays the ‘
MATH ’ legend on the main
(left-hand) display and the measurement units e.g.V will not be displayed except when
the only math operation is ‘–C’. An exponent is added to the numeric value displayed to
scale the mathematical results.
All constants (except %) used in the mathematical operations are set in the
MATH
CONFIG
menu.
