Defining global scales and ranges

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

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

To define global scales and ranges for an entity

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