The analog output is turned off as a de-

fault. You turn it on/off and set the scal-

The scaling factor has two functions:

ing factor under ANALOG OUT in the

 

aux menu.

Its exponent selects which digits to output

 

 

on the analog output.

 

 

Its value sets what reading should represent

 

 

full scale.

As default, the scaling factor is 1 (1E0).

Multiply this value with the scaling factor,

 

 

for instance 0.001.
