Bargraph level conversions

Here are some notes on converting different ranges of bargraph levels. I know that the new G4 panels support custom min/max ranges, but I still prefer to do it the old way and leave the levels from 0-255 and adjust it from netlinx code.
To convert a range from 0 - 255 to a range of 0 - y: x = current value y = high value (x * y) / 255 To convert a range of 0 - y to a range of 0 - 255 for a bargraph: x = current value y = high value (x * 255) / y example: you have a 232 device with discrete levels from 0 - 100. Use the above equation to convert this number range to a bargraph range. (0 * 255) / 100 low value of 0 (100 * 255) / 100 high value of 255
