====Transforms====

Transforms are ARDIs way of processing incoming data - they are most commonly used to convert [[digital]] measurements into text, or for scaling inputs from data sources such as [[Modbus TCP|Modbus/TCP]].

When creating data links through the web interface, you are guided through the creation of your transform. For information on this process, see the [[Transform Page|transform page]] reference.

If importing your data through a [[ardiadminguide:importing_databases_from_spreadsheets|Spreadsheet Import]], you will need to read the [[transform expression reference|transform expression reference]] to learn how to write some of the most common transform types.
