5.11 Using the Linear Scaling Function (AX+B or
P1-P2)
<For a description of this function, refer to page 2-9.>
The linear scaling function is applied when measuring voltage on the voltage module or
strain on the strain module.
Procedure
Selecting the Channel
1. Press CH.
2. Press one of the soft keys from CH1 to CH16.
For the displayed menus when this operation is executed, see section 5.1.
Selecting the Linear Scaling Method
3. Press the Next 1/2 soft key.
4. Press the Linear Scale soft key. A Linear Scale setup dialog box appears.
5. Use jog shuttle+SELECT to set Mode to AX+B or P1-P2.
• If you select AX+B, proceed to step 6 on this page.
• If you select P1-P2, proceed to step 6 on the next page.
If the input module is 701271
(STRAIN_DSUB), “Shunt” is also displayed.
The Shunt item is used to perform shunt
calibration on the strain module. For the
setup procedure of Shunt, see section 5.15.
If AX+B Is Selected
6. Use jog shuttle+SELECT to set the scaling coefficient, offset, unit, and display
type.
• Set the unit as necessary. For the procedure to set the character string of the unit, see
section 4.2.
• If the display format is set to Floating, set the Decimal Number and SubUnit values.
