Mx+B Scaling
• The maximum gain allowed is ±1E+15 and the maximum offset
allowed is ±1E+15.
•The MEASure? and CONFigure commands automatically set the gain
(“M”) to 1 and offset (“B”) to 0.
• A Factory Reset (*RST command) turns off scaling and clears the
scaling values on all channels. An Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command)
does not clear the scaling values and does not turn off scaling.

the gain, offset, and measurement label settings.

To make a null measurement and store it as the offset, go to
