Math Operations
The U3606A Multimeter|DC Power Supply provides six math operations:
null measurements, dB measurements, dBm measurements, statistics
(MinMax) for accumulated readings, limit testing, and a hold function. The
table below describes the math operations that can be used with each
measurement function.
• All math operations can be toggled off by pressing Shift > Exit.
• All math operations are automatically turned- off when changing
measuring functions.
• Range changing is allowed for all math operations.
• For remote operation, refer to the CALCulate subsystem in the U3606A
