There isn't an easy, direct way of setting an alternate scale for a numeric control. There is for graphs and charts, but not numeric slides.
I have a need for a numeric slide to sit next to a corresponding strip chart. The chart has log scale with auto-divisions. The purpose of the numeric is to show the current value being measured, as opposed to the historic data of the chart. Just a different visual aid for the technician. See below...
I'm trying to come up with some clever way to rescale the numeric so that it "looks" log, even though it's a linear control.
Also realize that it will be placed next to the strip chart like this:
So it's value needs to correspond with the strip chart values. Another trick would be to get the number of divisions in the numeric to correlate with those of the strip chart, along with their labels.
I thought of switching over to a ring control, since there's some customization possible with index labels. But then you can't get the resolution when you set the value.
Is any of this possible?
