Is there way to scale a value for digital panel meter , really don't have the option of changing the program to do it , that would be
too simple
example  (-32768 to 32767)  to  (-200 to 850)

I think the circular progress bar has an example of this, at least the one I did, I think Archie kept that part in for the public release.

Try these settings:

ValueScaleFactor = 0.01602
ValueScaleOffset = 20284

Maybe it would be good to have the formulas to derive the factors above.

ValueScaleFactor = [(scaled max) - (scaled min)]/[(input max) - (input min)]

ValueScaleOffset = [(scaled min)/ValueScaleFactor] - (input min)

Careful attention to the signs must be utilized to get the correct values for these.
