Chapter 9. MVS-<strong>STX</strong> Math Channels<br />
• The MVS interprets equations using<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard math rules regarding order of<br />
operations. If you are unsure of how to<br />
apply these rules, use parentheses to<br />
ensure that the MVS is calculating what<br />
you want it to calculate.<br />
• The maximum value that a math channel<br />
can display is limited to six active digits;<br />
if the calculated value exceeds this<br />
maximum, an error message will appear<br />
when monitoring the channel. To prevent<br />
this error, scale down the value from the<br />
equation using the divide function. Note<br />
that the magnitude of the maximum value<br />
is dependent on the Form selected for<br />
the channel (see Chapter 5, MVS-<strong>STX</strong><br />
Display Menu, for selecting the Form).<br />
Equations containing more than 40 characters<br />
or more than three constants can be<br />
created by putting additional math channels<br />
on-line. These additional channels can be<br />
used to calculate intermediate results used<br />
by the math channel. The channels used to<br />
calculate the intermediate results can be<br />
hidden from the display by using the Hide<br />
function in the Disp Menu. The example<br />
below shows an incorrect equation with more<br />
than three constants <strong>and</strong> the use of multiple<br />
math channels to create a correct equation.<br />
Incorrect (contains more than 3 constants)<br />
C9=10*C3+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1<br />
Correct<br />
C10=10*C3 (hide this channel)<br />
C9=C10+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1<br />

Note<br />
Refer to RScn in Chapter 8, MVS-<strong>STX</strong><br />
Service Menu, for an explanation of the<br />
use of the Rescan function.<br />
1. If in Auto Mode (Auto LED illuminated),<br />
press the Auto/Man Key to put the MVS<br />
in Manual Mode. The Auto LED turns off.<br />
Note<br />
It does not matter what channel the<br />
Manual Mode is in when you go into<br />
the menu tree to enable channels.<br />
