Scale and Offset Processor

The “Scale and Offset Processor” is installed with the Dataristix Application. The processor scales and/or offsets values as configured, retaining the data types and qualities of the input values.

Add the “Scale and Offset Processor” to a task by dragging it from the “Build” panel onto the task’s “Task Builder” panel.

You can change the following properties:

  • Name
    The title of the “Scale and Offset Processor” as it appears within the task builder.
  • Scale and Offset
    Scale and offset values that determine how incoming tag values are transformed before being passed on to the output stage. The incoming tag value is first multipled by the Scale value, then the Offset value is added.

Press the “Apply” button to commit your changes.

Example

The following example shows a task that transfers data from OPC UA to an ODBC database. Tag values will be multiplied with 0.001 before storing the data into the database.
