User scaling
User scaling is an additional scaling level prior to manufacturer scaling. You can use this
scaling to correct local influences. The function is the same as that of manufacturer scaling:
y = (a
2
/ 256
D
* x) + b
2
or
y = (a
2
/ 100
H
* x) + b
2
a
2
= Amplification factor * 256
D
User scaling is deactivated in the default setting. The default value for offset is 0. The de-
fault value for gain is 256
D
(100
H
). That corresponds to amplification factor 1.

Example calculation
Task:
If the PIO shows a decimal value of 10 000, there should be 10 V at the output. User scal-
ing should be used in this case (Gain a
2
). Manufacturer scaling should not be changed. All
numbers are decimals.
Solution:
User scaling
y = (a
2
/ 256 * x) + b
2
and manufacturer scaling
y = (a
1
/ 256 * x) + b
1
act consecutively, giving:
y = (a
1
/ 256 * ((a
2
/ 256 * x) + b
2
)) + b
1
or:
y = (a
1
* a
2
* x / 65536) + (a
1
* b
2
/ 256) + b
1
With default values for a
1
= 32, b
1
= 0 and the default value b
2
= 0:
y = a
2
* x / 2048
a
2
= y * 2048 / x
Due to the hardware calibration the converter's output range is divided so that the 10 V end
point is assigned the value x = 4095. With the default values y = 4095 and x= 10 000 the
result is:
Gain a
2
= 838

Data formats
The way in which the analogue value is displayed depends on the voltage range, on scaling
and on the data format. The following examples show the relationship between the values
with default scaling.
You can configure the following data formats:
}
Two's complement (default)
The digital values are transferred with 15 bits plus a sign bit (MSB). The MSB is "1" with
negative values and "0" with positive values.
}
Sign and magnitude representation
The digital values are transferred with 15 bits plus a sign bit (MSB). The MSB is "1" with
negative values and "0" with positive values. With negative values there is a distinction
between sign and magnitude representation and two's complement representation.
