w or bottom end
of the input scale and for this range; it will default to 0.0000. Up to thirteen characters can be entered. For
our programming example, press the
ENTER
button to accept
0.0000
as the low end value.
3. You will then be asked for the value to represent the
hi
gh end of the input scale. This value will default to
1.2500. For the sake of this exercise, use the character buttons to enter
1.0
and then press the
ENTER
button which will return you back to the
Point Setup
menu.
3.6.3 Output Scale
The Output scale is the value that will be reflected on the display or recorded to the units and will once again be
