9.2.3 RDG SC (Reading Scale) And RDG OF (Reading Offset)

Typically, this would be used only when you cannot connect a known load to
your meter, you require a display with 3 or more positions to the right of the
decimal point position, you have scaled your meter using Input Scale and
Offset ("IN.SC.OF") and want to enter a constant multiplying factor, or you
have an extremely large offset.
If "RDG.1=0" were chosen, then you go automatically into "RDG SC" and
"RDG OF" where:
"RDG SC" is reading scale from -99999 to +499999 where you set the
display to "1.00000" and "RDG OF" is reading offset from -99999 to 999999
when you set the display to "000000".
When "RDG SC" is displayed, press the 'MIN' button to see the previously-
set value. Process measurement scale is set to "1.00000" using the
'MIN/MAX' buttons. Store by pressing the 'MENU' button.
For "RDG OF", you may choose to enter a reference temperature offset here
(e.g., "-100.00") so that the display will read deviation of the input from the
boiling point (or some other temperature).
If "RDG.1 = 1" were chosen, then you go automatically into "RD.SC.OF".

position. This makes the decimal point independent of the display decimal
point and allows larger offset values.
