You must configure the channel before applying any scaling values.
In the Math menu page, press the Math softkey to enable (On) or disable (Off) measurement scaling.
Math is set to Off when you change measurement functions (for example, changing from DCV to ACV). You
must re-enable math after changing measurement functions.

(b) values to all readings on a selected channel during a scan. To configure, select scaling function as mX+b and
press Settings to open the configuration menu.
