3.3.5 MX+B
Definition
This mathematical function multiplies a measurement reading (X) by a specified scale
factor (M) and add an offset (B) automatically. The answer (Y) will then be shown on
the display according to the following equation.
Y=MX+B
This is especially useful when you need to do slope calculations on a series of
measurements. The values of the “M” and “B” can be changed through the
configuration of this function and they are stored in a volatile memory and will be
cleared after the meter has been turned off or a remote interface reset.
How to use MX+B function
You can use MX+B function from the front panel operation or the remote interface
operation.
