Scaling Problem

Scaling Problem

Hi,

I have Volt and Amp data from different IEDs via Modbus TCP and IEC 61850. My problem is:


- I need Amp (current) scaling factor to be adjustable by user input in runtime.
There should be some code which will pop-up input screen on pressing "Settings" button and ask user to enter CT scaling ratio and scale the variable accordingly.


I have tried by using the VBA script :


Dim ctRatio As Integer

thisProeject.Variables.Item("Current L1 Node 1").RangeMax = ctRatio

And taking "ctRatio" as user input....

But it doesn't work. However when i am in Workspace and put the "RangeMax" property of that variable to the desired scaling ratio, It does scale it well.
But I need "adjustable scaling factor" that the runtime should ask from the user and adjust the variable accordingly.


Please Help ..!!!


And many thanks....
