Usage
operation = smu.measure.math.format
smu.measure.math.format = operation
Math operation to be performed on measurements:
 y = mx+b: smu.MATH_MXB
 Percent: smu.MATH_PERCENT
 Reciprocal:
Details
This specifies which math operation is performed on measurements for the selected measurement
function.
You can choose one of the following math operations:
• y = mx+b: Manipulate normal display readings by adjusting the m and b factors.
• Percent: Displays measurements as the percentage of deviation from a specified reference
c
onstant.
• Reciprocal: The reciprocal math operation displays measurement values as reciprocals. The
di
splayed value is 1/X, where X is the measurement value (if relative offset is being used, this is
the measured value with relative offset applied).
Math calculations are applied to the input signal after relative offset and before limit tests.
Example
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.math.format = smu.MATH_RECIPROCAL
smu.measure.math.enable = smu.ON
Enables the reciprocal math operation on
voltage measurements.
