What is "scaled data"? What indicators display scaled data?

[km4hr]

I have a third party (non-NI) VI that produces "scaled data". What is "scaled data"? I can't find an explanation of "scaled data" anywhere so I don't know what it is.

How do I find out what indicators are compatible with "scaled data".

thanks

In data acquisition, there are two terms:

a) raw data

b) scaled data

Raw data are the data directly received from the data acquisition device. These values are unsigned integer between 0 and 2^resolution.

Scaled data are data you normally want to handle in your application. You want to have something like 5.5V or 1.2mA. So the raw data is taken and scaled appropriate to the daq-setting.

hope this helps,
