German term
Ausschlag des [...] Balkens
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Science (general)
Robotics
This is an indicator in a interface test window.
I know exactly what it does, but I can't think of the right term for "Ausschlag".
If it was a needle I could say "the swing of the needle" but it is a blue bar indicator.
Here is the context:
Nun können wir mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe die Beleuchtungsstärke des Fototransistors variieren und damit den **Ausschlag des blauen Balkens** von AX verändern.
[..]Der Ausschlag ändert sich dann, wenn wir den Fototransistor abdecken.
Vielen Dank!

Comment: "Thanks Klaus,
This worked perfectly, especially since it was a resource guide for "regular" folk.
Thanks to everyone else as well! I actually used "movement" for the second sentence"

: Yes, as in "deflection of the indicator bar" (see: http://www.microscopyu.com/articles/digitalimaging/digitalsi... :-)

: If it's some kind of moving coil instrument, deflection is the word.

: not the movement, but the position or amplitude (reading) is meant to be modified.

Discussion
An "movement" hatte ich auch gedacht, aber was wenn sich der Balken nicht bewegt, sondern eben nur einen bestimmten Stand anzeigt.
