132 Calibrating Your Module
Scaling Outputs
Outputs are scaled in the same manner as the inputs and are
represented by the following illustration.
The gain, m, and offset, b, coefficients are calculated as follows:
m = Output Range / User Range
b = Z – mx
where: Z is the value, from the table, that sends a “zero” output*,
x0 is the user signal that is associated with “zero” output.
* in 4–20mA modes, “zero” is 4mA.
