Re: [TCML] Matching analog panel meters



Hi Adam,

Thanks for all of the advice. Actually, as I was telling Drake,
I don't already have the desired sized meters anyway so I
may has well go ahead and purchase the exact meters that
I want ;^) I found a good source for such custom ordered
brand new Yokogawa meters at a reasonable cost:
www.byramlabs.com
It was fairly easy to navigate their website and to put
together what you want.

My meters shown here:

Have a plastic scale which is glued in. Some are
metal, which is easier, since they aren't glued in,
but rather they are screwed in. I've done both.

Anyway, you could print on adhesive backed label paper
(which any printer can do), but I just used plain old
printer paper. I used glue-stick to affix it to the
scale, then reattached the scale to the meter. In
other words, I stuck a label over the old scale.

Bill,

I'm sure there MAY be some way to do this with
the preinstalled programs on my computer. However,
it's not the computer's capabilities that's the
problem-
It's the computer operator's LACK OF SKILLS
that's the problem. I'm sure that my teenage/young
adult children would be much more adept at it than
yours truly. But even if I did figure out how to
trans-
pose meter scales with my computer, I would not
want to print it on paper, cut it out and glue it to
my meter's dial. If you're suggesting stamping it on
to a metal meter dial, then you obviously must have
fancier computer and printer equipment than I do.
Maybe I'm just showing my ignorance here but I just
don't see how I could neatly transpose a desired
scale from my computer directly to my meter's dial
plate?
