Description The ADAPBPCTL command requires a linear display mode. It multiplies trace A by the display line and divides the result by the sum of traces A, B, and

C. The results are stored in trace A. If trace A is in clear-write mode, the function is continuous and occurs every sweep.

This command allows ratio measurements to be made as a sweep is taken. If trace B has points near the bottom of screen, over￿ow or poor precision can occur. If a division by zero is attempted, a division by the smallest representable value will be performed instead.

To ensure that correct data is displayed, be sure that a sweep is taken before using this command. Only one trace math operation may be active at any given time.
