Usage
reference = dmm.measure.math.percent
dmm.measure.math.percent = reference
The reference used when the math operation is set to percent; the range is -1e12 to
+1e12
Details
The percent math function displays measurements as percent deviation from a specified reference
constant. The percent calculation is:
Where:
• Percent is the result
• Input is the measurement (if relative offset is being used, this is the relative offset value)
• Reference is the user-specified constant
Example
dmm.measure.func = dmm.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
dmm.measure.math.format = dmm.MATH_PERCENT
dmm.measure.math.percent = 50
dmm.measure.math.enable = dmm.ON
Set the measurement function to voltage.
Set the math operations to percent.
Set the reference constant to 50 for voltage
measurements.
