Velocity scaling in Vector
| Quote |
Dear Nortek In the manual (p28) it says for the status code: Scaling 0 = × 1 mm/s 1 = × 0.1 mm/s What does this scaling apply to? What does it mean? |
The scaling of the Vector velocity output depends on the velocity range setting. If you set it to use the highest ranges the least significant bit is 1 mm/s. For the lowest range it is 0.1 mm/s. The purpose of varying scale factor is make sure we utilize as much as we can of the dynamic range that is inherent in the system.
This is all transparent if you use the Vector program to convert to ASCII because the data reported in the ASCII files is in engineering units. If you develop your own programs to read the binary data files, the variable scaling needs to be taken into account.
