limits:
CALCulate:FUNCtion LIMit

4.3.6 MX+B
Definition
This mathematical function multiplies a measurement reading (X) by a
specified scale factor (M) and add an offset (B) automatically. The
answer (Y) will then be shown on the display according to the following
equation.
Y=MX+B
This is especially useful when user needs to do slope calculations on a
series of measurements.
The values of the “M” and “B” can be changed through the configuration
of this function and they are stored in a volatile memory and will be
cleared after the meter has been turned off or a remote interface reset.
User can either use front panel or remote interface to perform this
function and set these two constant.
How to use MX+B function
You can use MX+B function from the front panel operation or the remote
interface operation.
Front Panel Operation
To set the values of M and B, user needs to configure this math function
by pressing CONFIG and SHIFT + %. Use ◁ and ▷ to switch between M
