5.1.2 Scale module
This module rescales the raw value (e.g. mA) to the required measurement value (e.g. mm). The
number of edges that have been added up from the counter module is used for the "Cnt.Day" and
"Cnt.Intervl." channel modes instead of the output value of the overflow module.
For "Cnt.Intervl." channel mode, the raw value is converted into the measurement value by
multiplying the number of edges that have been added up by the pulse value determined by the
"Impulse" parameter. The meter reading of the counter module is then reset.
For "Cnt.Day" channel mode, the raw value is also converted into the measurement value by
multiplying the number of edges by the pulse value determined by the "Impulse" parameter.
However, in this mode the meter reading of the counter module is not reset at the time of every
measurement but is instead reset at the time specified via the "Day change over" parameter (see
"Additional explanation regarding the difference between "Cnt.Day" and "Cnt.Intervl."" on page
62). A more detailed description on generating measurement values at the day changing time are
provided in "Day change" on page 27.
