Data Scaling Error

Hi,
I am working through the tutorial file for NI Lookout 6.2.

I have attached a screenshot of a Data Scaling Error problem  following completion of the section "Configure Data for Logging, Scaling and Alarms" on page 8 of the tutorial.

In the attached screenshot you will see the settings in the Edit Data Member Configuration are Raw Units 0-100 and Eng. Units 0-250000 - as set out in the tutorial.

However the resulting scaling of the percent full to gallons shows a 49% setting as over 42 million gallons!

Please can you assist with where the scaling settings are in error. I have repeated the tutorial several times from scratch with the same results.

I guess you are control the F40001. F40001 is 32bit floating which combines 40001 and 40002, while the alias you set is 40001, 16 bit integer.

When F40001 is 49, 40001 is 16964, TankLevel1 is 42410000.
