Calculate subsystems and are summarized in Table 5-2.
:CALCulate[1]
These commands are used to configure and control the MXB (polynomial)
and percent math calculations. Detailed information on math calculations
is provided in Section 2.
:FORMat <name>
CALCulate[1]:FORMat <name> Specify CALC1 format
Parameters <function> = NONE No calculations
MXB Polynomial math calculation
PERCent Percent math calculation
Query :FORMat? Query programmed math format
Description This command is used to specify the format for the CALC1 math calcula-
tions. With NONE selected, no CALC1 calculation is performed. With
MXB or PERCent selected and enabled (see :STATe), the result of the cal-
culation is displayed. The calculated reading is refreshed every time the
instrument takes a reading.
:KMATh commands
:MMFactor <Nrf>
:CALCulate [1]:KMATh:MMFactor <NRf> Specify “m” factor
Parameter <NRf> = -100e6 to 100e6
Query :MMFactor? Query “m” factor
Description This command is used to define the”m” factor for the mx+b calculation.
:MBFactor <NRf>
:CALCulate [1]:KMATh:MBFactor <Nrf> Specify “b” factor
Parameter <NRf> = -100e6 to 100e6
Query :MBFactor? Query “b” factor
Description This command is used to define the”b” factor for the mx+b calculation.
:MUNits
:CALCulate [1]:KMATh:MUNits <name> Specify units for mx+b
Parameter <name> = 3 characters using ‘A’ through ‘Z’
