Factors (Mx + B)

Used to scale measurements. Mx + B scaling multiplies a

measurement by a multiplier (M) and then applies an

offset (B). For example, Mx + B scaling of 100x + 50

applied to a measured value of 1.15 would result in a

reading of 100(1.15) + 50 = 165.

Input or Scaled Range

Use the M and B values to calculate the Input and Scaled

range or the Input and Scaled range can be entered and

the Software will calculate the M and B values.

Configure a Computed Channel

Computed channels provide a means to calculate values

based on measurements. For example, if Channel 1

measures dc V and Channel 2 measures dc I, a

computed channel could be used to calculate

instantaneous power (Channel 1 x Channel 2).

For a computed channel to execute, it must be associated

with the scanning of a module or instrument. Choose a

module in the Scan with Module area for this association.

The default is module 1.

To configure a computed channel:

1. Highlight the Computed Channels icon in the

TreeView panel show and click Insert.

2. Specify the number of channels to insert on the

Insert Channel dialog box shown below.

3. Click OK. The computed channels are added and are

shown in the TreeView panel.

4. Select a computed channel. The Computed Channel

settings dialog is shown.
