Selecting and configuring math
The polynomial, percent ratio, percent deviation, or logarithmic calculation is selected and configured
from the CONFIGURE MATH menu (see the table below). The selected calculation is enabled by
pressing the
MATH
key (MATH annunciator turns on). The Model 6517B then displays the result of
the calculation, using scientific notation where necessary. The following display messages indicate
which math calculation is being used:
NONE: No calculation selected
POLY: Polynomial
%: Percent calculation selected
%DEV: Percent deviation calculation selected
DEV: Deviation calculation selected
RAT: Ratio calculation selected
LOG: Logarithmic calculation selected
Pressing
MATH
a second time disables the calculation.

Menu item
Description
None
Select no calculation when MATH key is pressed
Polynomial
Select polynomial calculation and enter constants
Percent Select

calculation
and enter target (reference) value
%DEV
Select percent deviation calculation and enter reference value
DEVIATION Select deviation calculation and enter reference value
Ratio
Select ratio calculation and enter reference value
Log10
Select logarithmic base 10 calculation
NONE
With this menu item, no math operation goes into effect when the MATH key is pressed. The MATH
annunciator lights, but NONE is displayed on the top line.
Polynomial
This menu item selects the polynomial calculation and allows you to program the polynomial
constants. The "a2" constant is displayed first. You can retain the displayed value or key in a new
value. In either case, press
ENTER
to display the "a1" constant. Retain or change this constant and
press
ENTER
to display the "a0" constant. If you change the "a0" constant, be sure to press
ENTER
again.
Percent
This menu item selects the percent calculation and lets you specify the target value. If you key in a
new target value, be sure to press
ENTER
.
%DEV
This menu item selects the percent deviation calculation and lets you specify the reference value. If
you key in a new reference, be sure to press
ENTER
.
