This screen can be accessed by pressing the “Correction” soft-key in

screen, as described earlier, can be accessed by pressing the Setup key
from main measurement screen.
The Correction Settings screen
(Figure 52) allows users to enter
two (2) multiplier values, labeled
“Multiplier 1” (M1) and
“Multiplier 2” (M2), besides an
“Offset” value. The corrected
measurement is arrived at using the
formula shown below:
Corrected measurement = [(Actual
measurement * M1) – Offset] *
M2.
Note that these settings are channel
specific, and apply to the primary
channel viewed on the main
measurement screen.
The default value for the two
multipliers is 1.0, and the offset is
0.0. If any one of these three
parameters are changed from their
default values, the main
measurement screen shows the
corrected measurement. A new field
called “Detector:” appears at the
