Relative, mX+b, and Percent (%) 4-7
Percent (%)
This math function determines percent deviation from a specified reference value. The
percent calculation is performed as follows:
Input – Reference
Percent = ––––––––––––––––– × 100%
Reference
where: Input is the normal display reading
Reference is the user entered constant
Percent is the displayed result
To configure and control the percent calculation, perform the following steps:
1. Press SHIFT and then % to display the present reference value:
REF: +1.000000 ^ (factory default)
2. Key in a reference value. The and keys control cursor position and the and
range keys increment and decrement the digit value. To change range, place the cursor
on the multiplier and use the and keys (m = ×0.001, ^ = ×1, K = ×1000, and
M = ×1,000,000). With the cursor on the polarity sign, the and keys toggle
polarity.
3. Press ENTER. The MATH annunciator will turn on, and the result of the calculation will
be displayed. Note that the calculation will be applied to all measurement functions.
4. To disable percent, again press SHIFT and then %. The MATH annunciator will turn off.
NOTES The result of the percent calculation is positive when the input exceeds the reference
and negative when the input is less than the reference.
The result of the percent calculation may be displayed in exponential notation. For
example a displayed reading of + 2.500E+03% is equivalent to 2500% (2.5K %).
