Details
This command specifies which math operation is performed on measurements for the selected
measurement function.
You can choose the math operation y = mx + b, and math calculations are applied to the input signal
after filter and relative offset operations.
y = mx+b: Manipulates normal display readings by adjusting the m and b factors.
