The measurement function to which this setting applies:
ï‚§ Concurrent: CONCurrent[:DC]
ï‚§ Current: CURRent[:DC]
ï‚§ Voltage: VOLTage[:DC]
The offset for the y = mx + b operation; the valid range is -1e6 to +1e6
The channel number (default value is CH1):
ï‚§ Channel 1: CH1
Channel 2: CH2
Details
This attribute specifies the offset (b) for an mx + b operation.
The mx + b math operation lets you manipulate normal display readings (x) mathematically based on
the calculation:
y = mx + b
Where:
y is the displayed result
m is a user-defined constant for the scale factor
x is the measurement reading (if you are using a relative offset, this is the measurement with
relative offset applied)
b is the user-defined constant for the offset factor
