Explanation
Scaling is a feature used to set the maximum value (main setting (MAX)) and minimum value (main
setting (MIN)) of the output range to your liking within the source range of each range. Output divider,
deviation, and sweep features operate within this scale range. Scaling cannot be used in high
resolution mode.
Specifying the Main Setting (MAX) and Main Setting (MIN)
You can set these values within the range that meets the following conditions.
• The main setting (MAX) must be greater than or equal to the main setting (MIN).
• If both the main setting (MAX) and main setting (MIN) are negative, the absolute value of the main
setting (MAX) must be greater than or equal to that of the main setting (MIN).
• You cannot set the main setting (MAX) to a negative value and the main setting (MIN) to a positive
value.
• For details on setting the main setting (MAX) and main setting (MIN) and the resulting conditions,
