Operations

Add / Subtract

The next measurement is added tothe previousone, respectively sub-tracted from the previousone.

The result is shown in themainline and themeasured valueabove. This process can berepeated as required. Thesame process can be used foradding or subtracting areasorvolumes. In this case pressDIST to show the result.
