Defining Global Scales and Ranges

Although you can define scales and ranges for a variable that's used in a particular input or output device (like graphs, tables, or sliders), if the variable is used in multiple input and output devices in the model, you may want to document or define the information in one place.

Tip: Once you define global scale and range information for a variable, you can override the global value for a specific instance (say, in a single graph) by editing scale or range values in the dialog box for that specific input or output device.

To Define Global Scales and Ranges for a Variable

1. In the model, select the variable you want to define global scales and ranges for.
2. At the bottom of the panels, click to view the Scales and Ranges tab.
3. Use the options on the Scales and Ranges panel to define global scale and range values for the selected variable.
4. Click , below the panel, to apply your changes.
