Relative, mX+b and Percent (%)
Relative
Relative (Rel) nulls an offset or subtracts a baseline reading from present and future readings.
When a Rel value is established, subsequent readings will be the difference between the actual
input and the Rel value.
Displayed (Rel’ed) Reading = Actual Input - Rel Value
A Rel value is the same for all measurement ranges. For example, a Rel value of 1 is 1V on
the 2V range, 1V on the 20V range, and 1V on the 200V range. Note that function changes dis-
ables Rel.
When a Rel value is larger than the selected range, the display is formatted to accommodate
the Rel’ed reading. However, this does not increase the maximum allowable input for that range.
An over-range input signal will still cause the display to overflow. For example, on the 20V
range, Model 6514 still overflows for a 20.1V input.
NOTE
Rel can be used on the result of the percent (%) or mX+b calculations. However, Rel
will disable whenever a math function is enabled or disabled.
Setting and controlling relative
From the front panel, there are two ways to set the Rel value. You can use the input reading
as the Rel value or you can manually key in the Rel value.
REL key
When the REL key is used to enable Rel, the present display reading is used as the Rel value.
Perform the following steps to set a Rel value:
1.
Display the reading you want as the Rel value. This could be a zero offset reading that
you want to null out, or it could be an applied level that you want to use as a baseline.
2.
Press REL. The REL annunciator turns on and subsequent readings will be the difference
between the actual input and the Rel value.
3.
To disable REL, press the REL key a second time or select a different measurement func-
tion. The REL annunciator turns off.
NOTE
When Rel is disabled, the Rel value is remembered and can be reinstated from the VAL
key.
