Resdoran: okay, I don't have the symbols (I would use "um" for a micron) that makes it difficult for some people, as I have learned. The metric system is the metric system.
i.e. 17.001 um = 17.001 mm
Resdoran / Eric - Both are right - I just don't fully understand. I used 1000 just to move the decmal point. I tried 10000 but this is to large a value to input. I thought about using LDD V... 10000 and then MUL by V... --- but never went that far, not knowing if that would work anyway.
As you can tell - both of you know much more about it that I do.
As mentioned before going to serial - I am hoping that I can just echo the micrometer value to the plc but if I have to scale that output from the micrometer, I will end up with the same problem.
