What is Scaling?

If the EDS file defines the scaling factors for a parameter, NI-DNET Configurator represents actual UINT and INT parameter values in other formats. The parameter raw value is the actual value, and the new form is the engineering value.

Use the following formula to tell the engineering value from the actual value:

If a parameter supports scaling:

• The parameter flag is S.
• You can see the formula in the parameter information.
• You can edit the parameter value in the engineering form.

Refer to Device Information Window and View/Edit a Parameter Value for more information.
