Recall Subtraction Constant
C?
(Nr3) Recalls the defined value of C.

Division

Each signal value is divided by a user-defined factor "Z".
Enable Division
Selects the division operation to be performed on the measurement.
Power On and Reset Conditions
OFF
Set Division Constant
This command allows the definition of the factor Z.
Nrf
A numeric value required for use in the DIV_Z processing. The decimal data resolution is
8.5 digits; numbers exceeding this resolution will be rounded to 8.5 digits. Divide by
zero will set bit 5 (MOF) of the Measurement Event Status Byte. This value is saved in
non volatile memory.
Example:
Z -56.999
LAST_RDG
Places the most recent reading into the numeric memory.
The mathematical processing capability is limited in the range of numbers which it can
successfully handle. The maximum resolution of the mantissa is 8.5 digits, and the
exponent is limited to ±15. Calculations which result in values outside this range will
produce an error indicated by the invalid response when accessed by a query command.
