Translation

This tab appears as follows:

This tab allows you to set up a translation table that translates the raw
measured data into the values to be sent over the Analog output network
variable.

The translation table provides a means for mapping any input set of values into
a different set of output values via pairs of input/output values. The Analog
Input software automatically linearly interpolates to determine translation
values that lie between defined input/output pairs.

The table must contain at least two input/output pairs and may contain as many
as twenty.

The only constraint on the Measured Value column is that the entries increase
monotonically (i.e. each value in the column must be greater than the previous
value). To mark the end of the table, enter a measured value less than the
preceding value.

Click the Save button to save translation table data into a tab-delimited text file.
Click the Load button to load data from a tab-delimited text file into a
translation table. Use these functions to save and reuse commonly used
translation tables for your hardware inputs. You can also use custom LonMaker
shapes to save frequently used configurations.
