dmm.math.mxb.units
Also see
dmm.math.format (on page 13-147)
Example
To set the units for mx +b operation to 'Q':
dmm.math.mxb.units = 'Q'
dmm.math.percent
Attribute
Specifies the constant to use for the percent operation.
Usage
To read the constant for the percent operation:
value = dmm.math.percent
To write the constant for the percent operation:
dmm.math.percent = value
value: Valid range is -4294967295 to [phone]
Remarks
This attribute represents the constant to use for percent.
Also see
dmm.math.format (on page 13-147)
Example
To constant for percent operation to 1250:
dmm.math.percent = 1250
To acquire the percent constant:
dmm.math.percent = dmm.measure()
dmm.measure()
Function
Handles taking measurements on the DMM without using the trigger model.
Usage
There are two ways to use this function:
To return the last reading of the measurement process taken and accounted for
by dmm.measurecount:
reading = dmm.measure()
reading: Contains the last reading of the measurement process
To return the last reading of the measurement process while storing all readings
accounted for by dmm.measurecount:
reading = dmm.measure(rbuffer)
rbuffer: A previously created reading buffer object where all the reading(s) will be
stored.
reading: Contains the last reading of the measurement process
