+=item B<Scale> I<Value>
+
+The gauge-values returned by the SNMP-agent are multiplied by I<Value>. This
+is useful when values are transfered as a fixed point real number. For example,
+thermometers may transfer B<243> but actually mean B<24.3>, so you can specify
+a scale value of B<0.1> to correct this. The default value is of course B<1.0>.
+
+This value is not applied to counter-values.
+
+=item B<Shift> I<Value>
+
+I<Value> is added to gauge-values returned by the SNMP-agent after they have
+been multiplied by any B<Scale> value. If, for example, a thermometer returns
+degrees Kelvin you could specify a shift of B<273.15> here to store values in
+degrees Celsius. The default value is is course B<0.0>.
+
+This value is not applied to counter-values.
