Power cycle
Usage
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:FORMat <name>
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:FORMat <name>,<channel>
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:FORMat?
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:FORMat? <channel>
The measurement function to which this setting applies:
ï‚§ Concurrent: CONCurrent[:DC]
ï‚§ Current: CURRent[:DC]
ï‚§ Voltage: VOLTage[:DC]
The name of the math operation:
ï‚§ y = mx + b: MXB
The channel number (default value is CH1):
ï‚§ Channel 1: CH1
Channel 2: CH2
Details
This command specifies which math operation is performed on measurements for the selected
measurement function.
You can choose the math operation y = mx + b, and math calculations are applied to the input signal
after filter and relative offset operations.
y = mx+b: Manipulates normal display readings by adjusting the m and b factors.
Example
Set the math function for voltage measurements to mx + b.
