DAQmx Scale Properties
Use the DAQmx Scale properties to configure custom scales.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Active Scale | Specifies the name of the custom scale to modify. Details |
Description | Specifies a description for the scale. Details |
Scaled Units | Specifies the units to use for scaled values. You can use an arbitrary string. Details |
Pre-Scaled Units | Specifies the units of the values that you want to scale. Details |
Scale Type | Indicates the method or equation form that the custom scale uses. Details |
Linear:Slope | Specifies the slope, m, in the equation y=mx+b. Details |
Linear:Y-Intercept | Specifies the y-intercept, b, in the equation y=mx+b. Details |
Map:Scaled Maximum Value | Specifies the largest value in the range of scaled values. NI-DAQmx maps this value to Map.PreScaledMax. Reads coerce samples that are larger than this value to match this value. Writes generate errors for samples that are larger than this value. Details |
Map:Pre-Scaled Maximum Value | Specifies the largest value in the range of pre-scaled values. NI-DAQmx maps this value to Map.ScaledMax. Details |
Map:Scaled Minimum Value | Specifies the smallest value in the range of scaled values. NI-DAQmx maps this value to Map.PreScaledMin. Reads coerce samples that are smaller than this value to match this value. Writes generate errors for samples that are smaller than this value. Details |
Map:Pre-Scaled Minimum Value | Specifies the smallest value in the range of pre-scaled values. NI-DAQmx maps this value to Map.ScaledMin. Details |
Polynomial:Forward Coefficients | Specifies an array of coefficients for the polynomial that converts pre-scaled values to scaled values. Each element of the array corresponds to a term of the equation. For example, if index three of the array is 9, the fourth term of the equation is 9x^3. Details |
Polynomial:Reverse Coefficients | Specifies an array of coefficients for the polynomial that converts scaled values to pre-scaled values. Each element of the array corresponds to a term of the equation. For example, if index three of the array is 9, the fourth term of the equation is 9y^3. Details |
Table:Scaled Values | Specifies an array of scaled values. These values map directly to the values in Table.PreScaledVals. Details |
Table:Pre-Scaled Values | Specifies an array of pre-scaled values. These values map directly to the values in Table.ScaledVals. Details |
