Details
This attribute enables or disables relative measurements. When relative measurements are enabled,
all subsequent measured readings are offset by the relative offset value calculated when you acquire
the relative offset value.
Each returned measured relative reading is the result of the following calculation:
Displayed reading = Actual measured reading - Relative offset value
For concurrent measurements, the offset value is applied only to current measurements.
Example
:SENS:FUNC "VOLT"
:SENS:VOLT:REF:ACQ
:SENS:VOLT:REF:STATe ON
Set the measurement function to voltage with a
relative offset of 5 V and enable the relative offset
function.
