Scale Filter¶
The foglamp-filter-scale plugin is a simple filter that allows a scale factor and an offset to be applied to numerical data. It’s primary uses are for adjusting values to match different measurement scales, for example converting temperatures from Centigrade to Fahrenheit or when a sensor reports a value in non-base units, e.g. 1/10th of a degree.
When adding a scale filter to either the south service or north task, via the Add Application option of the user interface, a configuration page for the filter will be shown as below;
