Figure 8.7: Counting direction for position calculation
Scaling factor parameter
The scaling function is used to convert the tape values to any unit of measurement. To do this, the tape
value is multiplied by the scaling factor.
Offset value parameter
This function adds an offset value to the tape value.

NOTE
The BPS 8 is set as follows by default:
The position value is output with normal counting direction. With the inverted counting direc
-
tion, 10,000,000mm minus the position value is output. The Preset value and Offset value
parameters can be used to influence this behavior.

NOTE
If the Preset parameter is activated and, as a result, a new value assigned to the tape value,
the Offset function no longer affects the position value. The offset is not reactivated until the
preset function is canceled. The offset value is entered in mm. When entering the offset
value, the scaling factor parameter must be taken into account.
