Measure Rel/Filter menu
This menu contains settings that specify the way measurement information is returned.
Displays the presently selected function.
Use the relative offset feature to subtract a set value or a baseline reading
from measurement readings. When you enable relative offset, all subsequent
measurements are displayed as the difference between the actual measured
value and the relative offset value.
Acquire the present reading as a relative value.
Configure the offset value. You can use Rel Acquire to set the present
reading as the relative offset value. You can also specify the relative offset
using the numerical keys, navigation control, and soft keys. The default value
is 0.
The Series 2280 only supports moving average filtering. This filter
continuously adds measurements to the stack on a first-in, first-out basis,
replacing the oldest measurement in the stack with a new measurement.
Enable or disable filtering of measurements.
Sets the number of measurements that are averaged when filtering is
enabled. The number of measurements can be 2 through 100.
Filtering uses a window to control filter threshold. When the input signal
remains within the selected window, measurements continue to be placed in
the stack. If the input signal changes to a value outside the window, the filter
resets and starts processing again, starting with new measurements.
Measure Math menu
This menu contains settings that configure the math function.
When the Math State is set to On, the mx+b math operation is performed on
measurements.
mx+b: Manipulate normal display readings by adjusting the m and b factors.
When the state is set to On, any math operations specified for the present
measurement function are performed before completing the measurement.
Specify the scale factor for mx+b math operation. The valid range is –1e6 to
+1e6.
Specify the offset for mx+b math operation. The valid range is –1e6 to +1e6.
Displays the presently selected function.
Specify the units suffix name for mx+b operation. You can only select one
capital letter for the name from the front panel.
Select Reading to store measurements to the buffer without performing math
operations on them.
Select CALC to store measurements to the buffer after performing specified
math operations.
