Test configuration

Sensor scaling

Before running a test, many input sensors must be scaled. Define sensor scaling parameters directly in the Sensor Scaling grid in the Test Configuration section.

To configure a channel for sensor scaling, first set the Sensor scaling mode in the grid (Closedscreenshot).

Depending on the mode selected, different scaling parameters must be specified to define the scaling line.
