Output Scale
This field specifies the value that the received data will be multiplied by as apart of the output scaling
process. The result of this multiplication is added with the value of the Output Offset field to complete the
scaling processes and specifies the value for an output channel.
The Output Scale field can be defined with an integer or a floating-point type of value (e.g., 123, 17.45,
3590, etc). The range of the values for this field is +/- 2
-31 to +/- 2 +31 . If the Output Scale field is given a
value of 0, then any connection to the data being received is lost.
Reference Note:
Appendix B, Scale and Offset in Summary View, discusses the mathematics pertaining to
various aspects of scale and offset.
Output Offset
The Output Offset is an integer value. The range of values for the Output Offset field is -2 31 to +2 31
(i.e., 2,147,483,647).
Reference Note:
Appendix B, Scale and Offset in Summary View, discusses the mathematics pertaining to
various aspects of scale and offset.
Display Scale
This field and the Display Offset field are similar to the Output Scale and Output Offset fields. The
difference is that the resultant scaled value is displayed in an Output Channel Icon on the screen of a PC
using the DBK70 software rather than used to affect the output channel’s signal. These fields are
particularly useful when it is meaningful to display the data in a way that is different from the way the
value of the associated output channel signal is calculated.
The range of values for this field is the same as for the Output Scale field.

various aspects of scale and offset.
Display Offset
The range of values for this field are the same as for the Output Offset field. Refer to the explanation for
the Display Scale field above for more information.
