Automatic Counter Scaling

What type of NIM scales a count signal based on a user defined factor?
Once I determine the appropriate scale factor for my BF3 tube (based on bubble data) I would like the counter to display TIE.

Garret,
Why don't you just log it with software, PRA or Labview etc, then you cab scale it to anything you like.

I could use PC software or make a counter with Arduino, but there's something satisfying about a NIM BIN setup.

Take a dead NIM bin plug-in module, gut it and put the Arduino scaler system in it and go from there. I have 4 self-made NIM modules in old NIM casings. Dead and worthless custom, OEM, NIM modules abound. A thin aluminum overplate on the old module can serve as a new faceplate, covering up old holes that are no longer needed.
