dmm.math.mxb.bfactor
Attribute
Specifies the offset for the y = mx + b operation.
Usage
To read the offset for the y = mx + b operation:
value = dmm.math.mxb.bfactor
To write the offset for the y = mx + b operation:
dmm.math.mxb.bfactor = value
value: Valid range is -4294967295 to [phone]
Remarks
This attribute specifies the offset (b) for an mx + b operation.
Also see
dmm.math.format (on page 13-147)
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor (on page 13-149)
Example
To set the offset for mx +b operation to 50:
dmm.math.mxb.bfactor = 50
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor
Attribute
Specifies the scale factor for the y = mx + b operation.
Usage
To read the scale factor for y = mx + b operation:
value = dmm.math.mxb.mfactor
To write the scale factor for y = mx + b operation:
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor = value
value: Valid range for value is -4294967295 to [phone]
Remarks
This attribute represents the scale factor (m) for an mx + b operation.
Details
dmm.math.format (on page 13-147)
dmm.math.mxb.bfactor (on page 13-148)
Example
To set the scale factor for mx +b operation to 0.80:
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor = 0.80
dmm.math.mxb.units
Attribute
Specifies the unit character for the y = mx + b operation.
Usage
To read unit character for y = mx + b operation:
value = dmm.math.mxb.units
To write unit character for y = mx + b operation:
dmm.math.mxb.units = value
value: Valid characters, A to Z, '[' char for micro symbol (as in µV), use ']' char for ohm
symbol (as in ) and use '\\' char for degree symbol (as in °).
Remarks
This attribute represents the unit character to use when the math format is set for mx +
b (dmm.math.format = dmm.MATH_MXB).
Default setting is „X‟.
