Hello
I am certainly learning alot about my new IObridge module. On one of my channels, I put a voltage divider on the analog input. With an input of 12 volts into the divider the reading is 2.5 volts. How can I make the dashboard read 12 volts ( is there a way to modify the scale in the voltage selection).
Thank you
Dan

I think I asked this question a while ago and the answer was "its in the list of things to do".  This really is a big limitation if you want to easily graph in real time something other than the standard parameters, ie: raw 10 bit A to D (0-1023), temperature, volts (0-5) and humidity.  There must be an alternative way to do it with a bit of java code but I dont have time to follow it up.  Anyone else had success?

Regards

Looks like you have buy an IO-204-PRO if you want scaling.

Basic scaling is coming to the web services - slope / intercept.

The PRO scaling we mention on the site is like data transformations. You will be able to take  a complicated serial string and get usable, scaled data.

We have been working on some brand-new features which has slowed us down on some other features.

Thanks for the update.  A simple method of scaling will improve the applicability no end.  Look forward to using it.
