The measurement function to which this setting applies:
• Current: CURRent[:DC]
• Resistance: RESistance
• Voltage:
Disable the relative offset: 0 or OFF
Enable the relative offset: 1 or ON
Details
This attribute enables or disables relative measurements. When relative measurements are enabled, all
subsequent measured readings are offset by the relative offset value calculated when you acquire the relative
offset value.
Each returned measured relative reading is the result of the following calculation:
Display value = Actual measured value - Relative offset value
Example
SENS:VOLT:REL 5
Set the measurement function to volts with a
relative offset of 5 V and enable the relative
offset function.
