Line Setup: Counter Scaling

The Counter Scaling Category is used to setup the Counter Scaling Settings for a line.

The counter scaling category applies scale values to calculate rate and total information for counter inputs on 2100-XX outstations.

Please note the Counter Inputs are heavily damped in the Recorder when displaying the Rate value. An 8 item rolling average is used to smooth out variations in the computers clock. This means that when the Recorder first starts, it will take 8 readings of the Pages data before the page starts to show a true value for the counters. The damping does not apply to the totaliser value, which is calculated purely on the counts coming in from the counter inputs on the station.

Rate Input Scale

The rate input scale scales the rate value (Lines Current Reading) according to the inputs rate.
i.e if one pulse in = 10 items, the rate would be 10. If one pulse in = 0.1 kW, the rate would be 0.1

Totaliser Input Scale

The rate input scale scales the daily and grand total value according to the inputs rate.
i.e if one pulse in = 10 items, the rate would be 10. If one pulse in = 0.1 kW, the rate would be 0.1

Calibration

The calibration value is added to the lines input value after the input has been scaled. It is used to fine tune the rate input (Current line reading) to the correct value in conjunction with a known input reference. To decrease the value of the input, specify a negative calibration value. Online calibration is possible via the Recorder's calibration box.
See Calibrate Lines.

Input Prescaler

This is an input function that can be used to apply a formula to the input of the line before it is scaled. The actual prescaler functions are contained in FILTER32.DLL and are custom written to perform prescaling on input lines. Current Prescaler functions are shown in Prescaler Functions.
