Model 6514 Quick Results Guide

Math operations

Model 6514 math operations include mX + b and percent.

mX+b

This math operation manipulates normal display readings (X) mathematically according
to the following calculation:

Y = mX+b

where: X is the normal display reading

m and b are user-entered constants for scale factor and offset

Y is the displayed result

To configure and enable mX + b, press SHIFT and then MX+B to display the present scale
factor. Enter the desired M, B, and UNITS values at the prompts, and press ENTER. The
MATH annunciator will turn on to indicate that mX+b is enabled. Press SHIFT then
MX+B again to disable the function. The MATH annunciator will turn off.

Percent (%)

This math function determines percent deviation from a specified reference value. The
percent calculation is performed as follows:

Input – Reference

Percent = ––––––––––––––––

×

100%

Reference

where:

Input is the normal display reading.
Reference is the user entered constant.
Percent is the displayed result.
