I have a program that I need to check and calibrate the scaling data x1 and x2 frequently .
I would like to make this entry without typing in the voltage setpoints and from the Layout if possible to keep the machine operator out of the worksheet .
Calibration proceedure at the moment.
- I place low tolerance master into tool
-cycle unit
-take the numbers from the voltage digital meter and enter them manualy into the linear scaling module x1 box
-repeat the process with the high tolerance master for the x2 box.
Is it possible to have the scaling setpoints entry made by simply pressing an enter button from the layout after cycling the unit
without having to type the numbers in and hgow could I go about this ?
Thanks Kent.

Yes...
Use Global variables in the Linear Scaling module.
In the Layout window, use the table object, and configure the cell to use the defined global variables, selecting the "Variable" option.
Then, on the layout, when running, enter the value and hit enter to store it
Test it... the scaling module may want you to restart to pick up the value.

Thanks CJ for the idea. I can't test it till I,m back running but I'm going to try this approach to set the calibration points . Kent.
