2.5 Output Divider
Output divider is a feature that divides the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature set with the
main setting dials equally by the specified number and outputs the result. The output divider feature
cannot be used in high resolution mode.
When calibrating the target meter, the output divider feature divides the voltage, current, resistance,
or temperature level into as many points as you need to calibrate. You can set the main setting to the
maximum indication on the target meter, and vary the divider value to calibrate the various points on
the meter.
Selectable divider value range m (denominator): 4 to 15, n (numerator): 0 to m
Setup example: Main setting (MAX) = 10 A, main setting (MIN) = 0 A, m = 4, n = 0 to 4
Output value = 0 A (10 A×0/4) → 2.5 A (10 A×1/4) → 5 A (10 A×2/4) → 7.5 A (10 A×3/4) →
10 A (10 A×4/4)
