Mx+B Scaling
The menu for setting Mx+B scaling values takes you through the following steps:
• Set the M value (sign and number).
• Set the decimal point location for the M value.
• Set the multiplier for the M value (m, x1, k, M).
• Set the B value (sign and number).
• Set the decimal point location for the B value.
• Set the multiplier for the B value (m, x1, k, M).
Use G, D, H and J to cycle through the selections at each step. Then press
EE to accept your choice and advance to the next step.
For example, to set an M value of 1.8 and a B value of 32 for channel 7, do the
following:
1. Select channel 7 by pressing G or D.
2. Press B to begin Mx+B scaling setting for channel 7.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select "+18000". Press H or J to move between digits.
Press G or D to select the value for each digit. (Ignore the decimal point). Press
EE to accept these digits.
4. Use the arrow buttons to select the decimal point position ("+1.8000"). Then press
E to accept this position.
5. Next, use the arrow buttons again to select the multiplier ("x1"). Press E to
accept this multiplier.
6. Use the arrow buttons to select +00320. Then press EE.
7. Use the arrow buttons to select the decimal point position ("+0032.0"). Then press
E to accept this position.
8. Next, use the arrow buttons again to select the multiplier ("x1").Press E to
accept this multiplier as the multiplier for the B value.
Mx+B scaling is now set at 1.8x+32 for channel 7.
Pressing D while partway through setting the M value undoes all changes entered thus
far, returning the instrument to Inactive Mode. Pressing D while partway through
setting the B value cancels entries made thus far for the B value, but does not affect any
changes already made to the M value.
Setting the Scan Interval
Press I to set the scan interval. The latest value appears on the right display. The
format of the display is H:MM:SS. Use J and H to move between digits. Use G and
D to select the new value for a digit. Values ranging from 0:00:00 to 9:99:99 are
allowed. Press E to accept the displayed value.
Set the interval to 0:00:00 for continuous scanning. If you set the interval to a value
shorter than the time required to measure all channels, scanning effectively becomes
continuous.
