Gain and Offset
A Gain value is a multiplier added to the sensor reading value. The Gain value can be
positive, negative, and/or a decimal value. A decimal value will divide the sensor reading. A
negative value will invert the sensor reading. An Offset value adds or subtracts a constant
value to the sensor reading. The offset is applied after the Gain.
The equation for an input value scaled by Gain and Offset is given below:
Input
Scaled
= (Input
Raw
X Gain) + Offset

Alarm Trigger
Alarms for a channel input may be configured to trigger based thresholds that can be set to a
range (High Low), Above, or Below a certain reading.
