# Measuring Ranges

The Measuring Ranges list contains the measuring ranges defined in the system. The measuring ranges are used for MPs that receive data from analogue to digital converters. Together with Input settings it creates the formula that the system uses to calculate the measurement value as described in [#common-adc-mp-parameters](https://help.boomerang3.com/boomerang-3-domain-administrator-manual/admin/infrastructure__measuring_points/common-mp-parameters#common-adc-mp-parameters "mention").

There are some predefined ranges that are available in all the system groups. The predefined ranges like e.g. 0-10 range above, have no system group nor division scope shown in the list.

An admin can create additional ranges which have a system group and division scope like e.g., New scale+. This may be needed to install ADC MPs for which different measuring ranges may be needed. The ADC MP installation is described in [adc-formula](https://help.boomerang3.com/boomerang-3-domain-administrator-manual/admin/infrastructure/infrastructure__measuring_points/adc-formula "mention").
