 **REGISTER 1 & 2 modes** - Each discrete input is duplicated, providing the opportunity apply two modes of initial processing and two methods of scaling. The ezeio controller's microprocessor reads the onboard inputs at a rate of 1000 times per second and exports the results every 1/10 of a second (//connected I/O Expander inputs are sampled slower as they are transmitted via CANbus//). Additional processing is applied to logged registers (see [[ezeio2:userinterface:configuration:fields|"Fields"]])

-**SCALING OF REGISTER 1** - Register 1 can be scaled to a unit value such as PSI or LPM. The relationship between the Min/Max raw & scaled settings creates a 2 point linear conversion. The result of this conversion is shown in register 3. In addition, a Low/High error range (in the scaled unit) can be entered, representing a normal or safe operating range for the application.
+**SCALING OF REGISTER 1** - Register 1 can be scaled to a unit value such as PSI or LPM with a 2 point linear conversion method. A rough conversion can be obtained by entering corresponding values from a table supplied by the sensor manufacture. For a calibrated conversion, use a trusted gauge or probe to provide readings at two points within the sensors range. Enter the value for one point and use the driver's copy function to capture the corresponding live raw reading. The result of this conversion is shown in register 3. In addition, a Low/High error range (in the scaled unit) can be entered, representing a normal or safe operating range for the application.
-**Min raw - Max raw** - By default, the range shown here is set based on the "Input hardware type" selected, such as 0-10V (0.0 - 10.0) or 0-30mA (4.0 - 20.0). This would correlate to the full scale of a typical sensor. These  fields can be changed if required to match the output of your sensor or the scale range you wish to use in the next step.

-**Min scale - Max scale** - Enter values here that correlate to the Min/Max raw values. For example: 4.0mA = 0 psi and 20.0mA = 250 psi
+**Raw value point A & B** - By default, the range shown here is set based on the "Input hardware type" selected, such as 0-10V (0.0 - 10.0) or 0-30mA (4.0 - 20.0).

+**Scaled value at point A & B** - Enter values here that correlate to the Min/Max raw values. For example: 4.0mA = 0 psi and 20.0mA = 250 psi
 **Low error - High error** - Enter values here that represent the normal range for the application. This could also represent the operating range of the sensor, so a negative value could indicate an open circuit. When the value is out of this range, the "Driver status" will indicate an "App error". This error can be see on the Driver status, incorporated in expressions by use of ds(DVCSTAT_APPSTAT) and included in messages with the "Message Template Tag" [DVCSTAT#APPSTAT].

 **Logic** - Set the true (or ON) state to be above or below the threshold value, with a value of 1 or 100. Choosing 100, make it easy to use the value to drive a digital output via "Fields".
