jaredc Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hello, I recently acquired a sensor that sends a 0-5V analog signal. I figured I could just scale back the standard 0-1023 input range and use 0-512 but my linear output is still very high. My questions are: Can a 0-5V analog sensor be used on a 0-10V analog input? If so, How do you scale the input value in Visilogic? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi Jared, It seems you deed it right. I don't understand what the problem is? What do you mean by "the linear output is still very high"? Whagt is the range of your sensor? Let's say it's 0-10 bar. In this case you need ot set: X1=0 Y1=0; X2=512 (5V) Y2=100 (10.0 bar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredc Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hello Emil, I was getting a reading greater than 512 which is why I said my values were high but I figured it out; I had the jumper set to current instead of voltage =( My apologies. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
