Linear Scaling Assistant

The Linear Scaling Assistant converts a data series from a compatible sensor to some other measurement when
you enter two raw values and their corresponding measurement values. The conversion must be based on a
linear relationship. Nonlinear scaling is not supported.
Supported Sensors
The Linear Scaling Assistant can be applied only to logged data from the following sensors:

CABLE-4-20-mA Input Cable

CABLE-ADAPx

Using the Linear Scaling Assistant

values in the Scaled column to correspond with the numbers in the Raw column. (The default values in the
Raw column are based on the high and low values supported by the sensor, but you may use different
values, as long as those values fall within the sensor's range.) These numbers establish a linear relationship
between raw and scaled values.
