Description
Scaling
The value of the monitored variable will be displayed in a scaled manner. The following is 
the scaling formula.
DisplayedValue = MonitoredValue * Gain + Offset 
If the option is selected, the entered value will be scaled by the following formula with the 
same coefficients (Gain and Offset) before it is output. 
OutputValue = (EnteredValue – Offset) / Gain 
Select and set this option in the Advanced page. 
Note: The Gain and Offset are 32-bit floating point numbers. They have at most 6 significant 
digits. The rounding and truncation errors may happen.
Range Check
The numeric entry will verify the entered value according to the specified maximum and 
minimum. If the entered value is not within the allowable range, the value will not be output. 
Select and set this option in the Advanced page.
Note 1: When the scaling option is selected, the output value instead of the entered value is 
verified. 
OutputValue = (EnteredValue – Offset) / Gain 
Note 2: When the scaling option is selected, the allowable maximum and minimum shown 
on the numeric keypad are the scaled version of the specified maximum and minimum. 
ScaledMaximum = Maximum * Gain + Offset 
ScaledMinimum = Minimum * Gain + Offset
