Introduction

If it is necessary to condition an incoming analog signal it can be done via a “conversion table”. The incoming signal is mirrored on a curve and the result is forwarded to the MP.

• The "conversion table" as a "ScaleGroup" may be used for arbitrary MPs.
• ScaleGroups are applicable for analog MPs only.

• Pair of values are combined in ScaleGroups.
• ScaleGroups got the extension ".sgr.xml"

• Create ScaleGroups
• Export ScaleGroups
  
  
• Create Pair of values within ScaleGroups
• Modify Pair of values within ScaleGroups
• Delete Pair of values within ScaleGroups
