Step 9: Scale and Offset
The Scale and Offset parameters convert the Counts, Volts or Current
from the transducer into meaningful measurement units.
First, determine the approximate positions at either end of travel. This
will help you verify later that you performed the procedure correctly.
To set the Scale and Offset:

Go to the
Axes Parameters
pane,
Setup
tab,
Tools and
Wizards
section.

in the desired
axis.
3.
In the wizard, follow the directions. For help, press the

button.
Tip:
If the wizard does not work for your system, you can manually
determine the Scale and Offset parameters. See the Scaling topic
in the RMCTools help for details.

the
Axis Parameters
, locate the
