Red Lion GEMINI 2 - Manual (Page 15)

It is important to note that the precision of an application cannot be improved
by using a scale factor greater than one. To accomplish greater precision, more
pulse information must be generated per measuring unit. For example, if 5 pulses
are being received per foot of material, the precision of 10th of feet cannot be
attained by simply programming a 2.000 scale factor, even though the display is
reading in tenths. In this case, the display will increment by two for each count
input. Thus, if an odd preset value was entered, such as 6.7 ft., the Gemini will
alter the preset to read in even tenths of feet.
Note: Use of a small scale factor in conjunction with a small scale multiplier
could cause the internal count value to be exceeded before the 6-digit display
value is exceeded. See “Overflow Indication” section for more details.
