This command allows the definition of the factor M, to be used as the multiplication factor.
Nrf
A numeric value required for use in the MUL_M command. The decimal data resolution
is 8.5 digits; numbers exceeding this resolution will be rounded to 8.5 digits. This value is
saved in non volatile memory.
Example:
Sets M at -300.
M -3E+2
LAST_RDG
Place 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 a mathematical overflow error.
