I'm the retarded question writer.Originally Posted by mowgli
The question is still retarded. You better make sure you capture any assumptions you make in answering the question. Like are these integer ranges or real? And what is the relationship between the ranges? Is it linear, logarithmic or something else? There are many ways that values in one range could be mapped to values in the other? It'd be inefficient but you could even do it randomly with a lookup table.
Who's asking the question?
Edit: Oh I see now. Back in my box
Measuring the milli volt output of a loadcell. machine reads inputs in range of +/-150mV, outputs it over ethernet as a big endian 2 word somethingarather. (in the range of 0-65535).
Once i scale in a linear fashion from 0-65535, I have the mV reading, which I can then divide by 2mV per V of excitation voltage(15v) at 100kg.
Err..
I think.

It would be 11.705 if your range had 300 integer values in it, but it doesn't. It has 301. -150 to 150 includes zero.
So you need to divide 301 by 65536, not 300, and the answer is 12.24.
Unsurprisingly, 'off by one' errors happen a lot in computer programs.
Did you actually read my initial post?

I said i believed it to be 11.707 as thats what the manufacturers software measured it as - I'd be surprised if they got the maths wrong somehow, its an industrial automation product, used to run factory's and so on.
No, Why? Did it say something useful?
p/t. yes i read it. It said : "That question doesn't make any sense."

Don't ever assume that the manufacturer's software was written by someone smarter than you. In my experience, it usually isn't.
If the specs really are as you describe, then the manufacturer's software has that exact off-by-one error in its logic and is giving incorrect output.
Always check actual physical measurements with separate calibrated equipment.
Come to think of it, I should've just left my contribution to the thread at that.

Looks like your right there - my software is giving slightly higher results than theirs.
Thanks for your input.

It's "maths" not "math". We are not in 'merica.
As for the question, I'm a simple freight forwarder, so I dunno.
Meeeeeeeeeh
After 10 pages could someone please be courteous enough to summarise the problem and answer to it

How linear is the output of the strain gauge of the weigh cell.
Also depends on the accuracy of the analogue input card, and whether the A to D converter has span and zero correction or a fixed constant as a correction.

So far we seem to have established that most electronic and software engineers are stupid, and basic arithmetic is the only 'math' you need to know to write computer programs.
