7.1 Output divider
Procedure
1.
Turn the
m
dial to set the denominator (number of divisions) of the divider value.
The m display shows the specified value.
2.
Turn the
n
dial to set the numerator of the divider value.
The n display shows the specified value.
m dial
1. Set denominator m.
n dial
2. Set numerator n.
Divider value example: × —

Explanation
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.
Selectable range of denominator m: 4 to 15
Selectable range of numerator n: 0 to m
• Turning the m dial resets numerator n to the denominator m value.
• The n value cannot be set larger than the m value.
• Setting a divider value does not affect the value shown on the main setting display.
• When the power is turned on, the value of denominator m that was used previously is restored. In
this situation, numerator n will be equal to denominator m.
• The output divider feature cannot be used in high resolution mode.
Output Example
At 100 V range, if main setting (MAX) is set to +100.000 V and main setting (MIN) is set to +0.000 V,
the voltage is divided as follows.
• When n/m = 0/5: +0.000 V
• When n/m = 1/5: +20.000 V
• When n/m = 2/5: +40.000 V
• When n/m = 3/5: +60.000 V
• When n/m = 4/5: +80.000 V
• When n/m = 5/5: +100.000 V
When the output is turned on, the output display shows the output value of the voltage, current,
resistance, or temperature, and the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature is output from the
applicable output terminals. For details on how to turn the output on and off and how to set the range,
see chapter 5 or 6.
