dmm.math.mxb.mfactor

dmm.math.mxb.mfactor
This attribute specifies the scale factor, m, for the y = mx + b math operation.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
scaleFactor = dmm.math.mxb.mfactor
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor = scaleFactor
scaleFactor
Details
This is not available for "nofunction". If command is queried when "nofunction" is selected, nil
is returned. If it is written when "nofunction" is selected, an error is returned.
This command sets the scale factor (m) for an mx + b operation for the selected measurement
function.
The mx + b math operation lets you manipulate normal display readings (x) mathematically according
to the following calculation:
y = mx + b
Where:
•
y is the displayed result
•
m is a user-defined constant for the scale factor
•
x is the measurement reading (if you are using a relative offset, this is the measurement with
relative offset applied)
•
b is the user-defined constant for the offset factor
Example
dmm.math.mxb.mfactor = 0.80
