Usage
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:MATH:FORMat <operation>
:CALCulate[1]:<function>:MATH:FORMat?
<function> The measure function:

Current:
CURRent[:DC]

Resistance:
RESistance

Voltage:
VOLTage[:DC]
<operation> The name of the math operation:

y = mx+b:
MXB

Percent:
PERCent

Reciprocal:
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
constant.
•
Reciprocal : The reciprocal math operation displays measurement values as reciprocals. The
displayed 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).
