In a data logging application, the seamless conversion of input signals from sensors, transmitters, or transducers into accurate engineering units is a critical and fundamental process. 

Whether dealing with temperature sensors outputting a 4-20mA current signal or determining the dew point from temperature and relative humidity values, our Microedge Data Logging System excels in making these complex conversions effortless.

At the core of our software and system are Custom Equations—source code functions written in C# programming language that empower you to generate any engineering unit of your choice. Let's take the example of a temperature sensor:

This equation generates temperature value (0-100 Celsius) from 4-20mA current value.

Within 'MyTemperature' function, you have the flexibility to integrate any C# source code, tailored to your sensor's specifications, to convert the 'Input' value into the desired engineering unit.

For more intricate calculations, our system allows the use of multiple functions for a more organized approach. Consider the equation for calculating dew point:

In this equation, 'Channels[0]' holds the temperature reading, and 'Channels[1]' contains the relative humidity reading. 'DewPointEquation' serves as the main entry point, calling the 'DewPoint' child function to generate the dew point value based on the temperature and relative humidity arguments.

The above example highlights just one of the numerous methods for generating dew point values. However, it effectively demonstrates the formidable capabilities of the .NET platform, the modern C# programming language, and the extensive functionality provided by Microsoft's Math library, equipping users to overcome any challenges related to engineering unit conversion.
