Description
Currently the calibrate adjusts for the offset then multiplies by the scale factor, which works for a stretched tape with the end missing *calibrate tape 0.05 0.752
But of thinks like mounting a DistoX in a waterproof case the offset will be measured with another device so will not want scaling
Suggestion is to allow the addition of units to the offset if the scale factor should not be applied, this should allow the original format to continue to work while adding functionality.
if not units
real = ( reading - offset) * scale
If units eg *calibrate tape -0.05m 0.752
real = reading * scale - offset
