Usage
value = smu.measure.math.mxb.mfactor
smu.measure.math.mxb.mfactor = value
value
The scale factor; the valid range is −1e12 to +1e12
Details
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
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.math.format = smu.MATH_MXB
smu.measure.math.mxb.mfactor = 0.80
smu.measure.math.mxb.bfactor = 50
smu.measure.math.enable = smu.ON
Set the measurement function to voltage.
Set the math operation to mx+b.
Set the scale factor for the mx+b operation
to 0.80.
Set the offset factor to 50.
Enable the math function.
