Expression

A multiplier and offset by which to scale the raw results of the measurement. See the
measurement description for the units of the raw result; a multiplier of one and an
offset of 0 are necessary to output in the raw units. For example, the TCDiff
instruction measures a thermocouple and outputs temperature in degrees C. A
multiplier of 1.8 and an offset of 32 will convert the temperature to degrees F.
