▪ Enable: dmm.ON or 1
▪ Disable: dmm.OFF or 0
Details
This attribute is not available if dmm.func is set to "continuity" or "nofunction". If you query
this attribute when either of these functions is selected, nil is returned.
When relative measurements are enabled, all subsequent measured readings are offset by the
relative offset specified by dmm.rel.level. Each returned measured relative reading will be the
result of the following calculation:
Relative reading = Actual measured reading – Relative offset value
If you change functions with dmm.func, the relative enable setting changes to the enable setting for
that function.
The relative enable setting is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you use another
function, then return to the previous function, the relative enable settings you set previously are
retained.
An error is generated if:
• dmm.func is set to "continuity" or "nofunction".
• If the value is out of range for the selected function.
Example
dmm.func = "accurrent"
dmm.rel.acquire()
dmm.rel.enable = dmm.ON
Enables the relative measurements for AC
current and uses the acquire command to set
the relative level attribute.
