scribed in chapter Display Mode Settings on page 77.

You can scale the quantity either to a quantity that already exists in
MC5-IS or select Custom Units
from the Scale Mode field. Then
you can manually enter any unit to
the Scale Unit field (see the
leftmost picture above).
When scaling is active in a Basic
Mode window, the window con-
tains the text “SCALED”. The true
value is displayed in Extra Info row.
If the Extra Info row was assigned
to some other measurement be-
fore scaling was started, the other
measurement is automatically
stopped.
Note.
Remember to set the amount of decimals to be displayed for a
Custom Unit. The default value is 3.
