For integers
$p,b\geq 2$
, let
$D=\{0,1,\ldots ,b-1\}$
be a set of consecutive digits. It is known that the Cantor measure
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{pb,D}$
generated by the iterated function system
$\{(pb)^{-1}(x+d)\}_{x\in \mathbb{R},d\in D}$
is a spectral measure with spectrum
$$\begin{eqnarray}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}(pb,S)=\bigg\{\mathop{\sum }_{j=0}^{\text{finite}}(pb)^{j}s_{j}:s_{j}\in S\bigg\},\end{eqnarray}$$
where
$S=pD$
. We give conditions on
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}\in \mathbb{Z}$
under which the scaling set
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}(pb,S)$
is also a spectrum of
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{pb,D}$
. These investigations link number theory and spectral measures.
