Description
Places 15 into S-ONE.
Places 4 into S-TWO.
D-EST holds the result.
Moves the result to the computer:
Puts the spectrum analyzer response
in the computer variable, Number:
Displays a 3.
If source 1 is a negative number and source 2 is a positive number, the MOD function returns
a negative remainder. If both sources are negative, the MOD function returns a negative
remainder.
Integer values are used when a trace is the destination or one of the sources. If trace data is
used as the source and the destination, the MOD function is done with 32-bit arithmetic using
16-bit integer data. If a user-defined variable or predefined variable is used as the source or
destination, the MOD function is done in floating point format. If a real number is used as a
source, but the destination is an integer value, the result is truncated. If a trace is used as
a source, be sure the trace contains a complete sweep of measurement information before
executing MOD.
When the source is longer than the destination, the source is truncated to fit. When the source
is shorter than the destination, the last element is repeated to fill the destination.
