Model 6487 Reference Manual
Relative, mX+b, m/X+b, and log
5-5
If the instrument is programmed to perform an infinite number of measurements (arm
count or trigger count set to infinite), you cannot use the :DATA? command to return
Rel’ed readings. However, you can use the :DATA:LATest? command to return the last
Rel’ed reading after aborting the measurement process. After sending the INITiate com-
mand to start the measurement process, use the ABORt command to abort the measure-
ment process, then use :DATA:LATest? to return to the last Rel’ed reading.
Programming example — relative
This program fragment establishes a 1µA baseline for measurements:
CALC2:NULL:OFFS 1e-6
' Set Rel value of 1
μ
A.
CALC2:NULL:STAT ON
' Enable Rel.
CALC2:FEED SENS
' Rel input signal.
SYST:ZCH OFF
' Turn off zero check.
INIT
' Trigger reading(s).
CALC2:DATA?
' Request Rel’ed reading.
mX+b, m/X+b (reciprocal), and logarithmic
mX+b and m/X+b
The following math operations manipulate normal display readings (X) mathematically
according to the following calculations:
Y = mX+b
Y = m/X+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
klqb
Changing the “m” or “b” for mX+b also changes it for m/X+b.
Configuring and controlling mX+b and m/X+b
To configure and control either of these math calculations, perform the following steps:
klqb
Enabling or disabling math disables Rel (if Rel is enabled).
1.
Press CONFIG then MATH to enter the math configuration menu.
2.
Using the manual RANGE keys, select either MATH: mX+B or MATH: M/X+B,
then press ENTER to select the desired function and display the present scale
factor:
M: +1.000000 ^ (factory default)
