Calibrating lookout to read my remote site

[Jayman]

Need help with getting my tank reads at a romote location to read the same on lookout?????    Help me

I don't understand your problem. Can you explain in detail?

Which object do you use in Lookout? which PLC?  tell me the version of your lookout.

communication failure at all or incorrect value? any alarm message?

I'm using Lookout 5.1 running on windows 98. I have Lookout polling to 18 differant locations each using Scan-Data RTU'S and RADIOS. Using the anolog inputs i have been recieving levels in my tanks at 2 of these locations (sewer pump stations). At my stations the levels read in feet but on my computer its reading i believe in %. I would to be able to read the same numbers on my computer (LOOKOUT) as i read at my pump stations. I'm using a Milltronics Multi Ranger Plus using the 4 to 20 mA outputs tieing into my RTU. Also in Lookout i have been using a pot controll to read these levels. Any help would be great.....Thanks!!

If you know how to figure out the feet value from the % value, you just need to add a formula to pot.

For example, if the max feet is 10, the expression of the pot can be "%value * 10".

Can you explaine a little more........ When i pull up the expression box it reads Anagolinput:1 and if i replace it nothing works and if i ad the expression to it its not excepted..?????

[Ryan.S]

What's the expression you added? What the result value?

The expression now is Analoginput:1.  If you change it to Analoginput:1 * 10, what will happen?
