5Gain Offset

 The Gain Offset tool will multiply the magnitude of measurements, or apply an offset value to the measurements.

Using the Gain Offset

Drag the AnalogueIOCollection object off the ROT onto the "Probe" section of the inputs page of the Gain Offset tool.  Use the dropdown menu to select the probe.  If several probes will be used select the first probe of the set of probes that will be used, according to the list on the AnalogueIOCollection.  For example, if a machine has 12 probes connected, select probe 6 to use probes 6-12 (assuming the NbProbes is set to 6 - see below).

The rest of the setup for this tool is done on its parameters page.

The NbProbes is the number of probes.

The Gain multiplies the magnitude of the measurements.

The Offset adds to the measurements, shifting the entire graph up or down.

This tool is based on the equation y=mx+c where the gain is "m" and the offset is "c".
