5Gage Combine

The Gage Combine tool combines the profiles from two analogue IOs together and generates a new profile.

Using the Gage Combine Tool

On the Gage Combine Tool's inputs page there are three areas.  The First (X) and Second (Y) are the two profiles that will be combined to output the third profile, Destination (Z).  Drag the AnalogueIOCollection object from the ROT onto each area and use the dropdown menu to select an analogue IO for all three.  The IO for the First and Second areas can be any analogue IO that is generating a profile.  The Destination must be an AnalogueIOCombine setup in the AnalogueIOMemory object in the ROT.

Once the inputs are defined the parameters page is used to setup how the First and Second will be combined.  The 1stMultiplier and 2ndMultiplier will multiply the values from the First and Second profiles (as defined in the inputs page) by whatever number is defined in these areas.  For example, if the First profile is giving a reading of 25 and the 1stMultiplier is set to 2 then the combine to will understand that value as 50.

The + area on the parameters page serves as an offset value, adding a specified amount to the combined value.

When the tool is run the value define in the First and Second areas will be added together, taking in consideration the 1st and 2nd Multipliers and the + (offset) value.
