This command can be included in the MCC-545C schedule to produce

reports on a periodic or prescribed time of day. For example,

SCHED,I,10:0,EVENT,UPDT,3 will schedule the group 3 sensor data report

every 10 minutes.

Command: SCALE, chan-name, slope {, offset}

Enter engineering units scale factor and offset for an analog channel. This

adds the optional offset parameter to the original MCC-545C SCALE

command. Analog event detection is based on scaled values, not raw

counts. The scaled value is computed as:

scaled value = (analog channel raw count * slope) + offset

Parameter Description

chan-name

Name of analog input channel to be scaled by the factors

provided in this

command.

slope

Multiplier scaling factor. The analog input channel raw count is

multiplied by this value. Valid: any decimal floating point number that

can be represented in Motorola 68000 32-bit floating point format.

However, there is a further restriction on the value of slope. See below.
