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 Scaling mode in the channel editor dialog or channel grid (Closedscreenshot).

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