Step 10: Scale and Offset
The Scale and Offset parameters convert the Counts, Volts or Current
from the transducer into meaningful measurement units, such as
inches, millimeters, pounds, Newtons, etc. RMCTools provides
Scale/Offset wizards to help you calculate these parameters.
Before starting, determine approximately what the positions should
be at either end of travel. This will help you verify later that you
performed the Scaling and Offset procedure correctly.
To set the Scale and Offset:
1. Go to the Axes Parameters
pane, Setup tab, Tools and
Wizards section.
2. Click Launch in the desired
axis.
3. In the wizard, follow the directions. For help, press the Help
button.
4. After completing the wizard, click the Download button
to
apply the changes to the RMC.
5. Remember to save your project and update Flash.
Tip: If the wizard does not work for your system, you can manually
determine the Scale and Offset parameters. See the Scaling topic
in the RMCTools help for details.
