Example
dmm.math.format = dmm.MATH_RECIPROCAL
dmm.math.enable = dmm.ON
Enables the reciprocal operation on
measurements.

Details
This is not available for "nofunction". If command is queried when "nofunction" is selected, nil
is returned. If it is written when "nofunction" is selected, an error is returned.
This attribute specifies the offset (b) for an mx + b operation.
The mx + b math operation lets you manipulate normal display readings (x) mathematically based on
the 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
dmm.math.mxb.bfactor = 50
Sets the offset for mx +b operation to 50.
