4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
SCALE TYPE
This field allows 'None', 'Linear' or (if the Log Scales option is fitted), 'Log' to be selected as scale type. For linear
scales, the number of major/minor scale divisions can be selected. This does not affect the 'chart' grid divisions,
which is set up as a part of Group configuration (
Figure 4.3.3b Scale type examples
NONE
Channels with Scale Type selected to 'None', appear with no scale information in any display mode.
LINEAR
Channels with Scale Type = Linear, appear with scale information in all display modes (except numeric). The
number of major and minor divisions can be selected from subsequent fields. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b,
above.
LOG
This menu item appears only if the Log Scales option is fitted.
Channels with Scale Type = Log, appear with logarithmic scales. These scales have major divisions at each decade
boundary, and (space permitting), minor divisions for mantissa values 2 to 9. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b,
above. Because of the nature of logarithms, neither negative values nor the value 0 can be used as scale 'zero'.
SCALE DIVISIONS - MAJOR
Appears for Linear Scale types only. Setting major divisions to 1, means that the scale consists only of 'zero' and full
scale. Setting Major divisions to 2, means that the scale has divisions at zero, 50% and full scale, and so on. Interme-
diate scale values appear at major divisions if there is sufficient space.
SCALE DIVISIONS - MINOR
Appears for Linear Scale types only. Setting minor divisions to 1, means that the scale major divisions are not di-
vided i.e. no minor division tick marks appear . Setting Minor divisions to 2, means that each major scale division is
divided into two, and so on. See figure 4.3.3b, above, for an example showing five minor divisions.
