i'm looking for opinions on which output to send to the analog out module when using a PIDE. it appears CV is 0-100 so i would have to use a MUL to scale the CV to match the output module range. on the other hand, if i use CVEU, i could make it match the output module range. the problem is that i am going to have some manual settings that go to a on the HMI to set the valve at 0-100, i guess i would have to multiply that too then. Would it be easier to use the CV and make 1 final MUL that ranges it to the output module? Am i barking up the wrong tree?

Use CVEU. Your manual settings should go into the CVOper or CVProg inputs on the PIDE instruction. The inputs would be in percent and the instruction will scale the CVEU output for the module.

Yes- i think that would be the way to go. thank you much.
