Scaled Data Displays

Scaled data and bar graph displays take raw numeric values and
mathematically manipulate them so that values are shown in standard
units such as gallons, feet per second, and pounds per square inch.
Values from the logic controller are scaled using the formula:

y=mx+b

y=scaled (displayed) value
m=scale (multiplier)
x=controller value
b=offset

The scale and offset values are entered in the Tag Editor. The
following example shows the use of a scaled data display.
