It doesn’t matter whether you use the 2-point scaling method or the function scaling method to scale your
channel! Use whichever one is more comfortable to you and the scaling factor that you prefer. Both of the
methods above are the same. They both express the equation C x 1.8 + 32 = F
Reference Check (bottom-right quadrant)
This fourth quadrant of the channel setup screen provides a handy reference,
where the ACTUAL input scale is shown on the left side of the bar graph, and
the result of your scaling is shown on the right side of the bar graph:
or …
- NOTE : DEWESoft will show the data in your scaled units of measurement from this point forward! Of course, the
data are really stored unscaled, to preserve all of their resolution, but they are always shown scaled according to
what you do here, during and after recording. They are also exported in scaled engineering units.
Look at the channel above on the right, our PSI channel. It shows ±25,000 PSI. But this is too much: your
sensor will output only 8 volts max, so the 50V range is too much. No problem! Change the ACTUAL mea-
suring range from 50 to 10V, and look what happens:

Now the measurement range of 10V yields a scaled measurement range of ±5000 PSI, which is what you
were looking for. In this way you can see the relationship between the ACTUAL hardware measuring range
and the SCALED measuring range.
