There are two external resistance control ranges, 
0~5kΩ and 0~10kΩ, depending on the F-97 
configuration. See page 110 for details. 
The output voltage (0 to full scale) can be 
controlled with the external resistance rising 
0kΩ~5kΩ/0kΩ~10kΩ or falling 
5kΩ~0kΩ/10kΩ~0kΩ.   
Rising: 
For 0kΩ~10kΩ: Output voltage = full scale voltage 
× (external resistance/10) 
For 0kΩ~5kΩ: Output voltage = full scale voltage × 
(external resistance/5) 
Falling: 
For 10kΩ~0kΩ: Output voltage = full scale voltage 
× ([10-external resistance]/10) 
For 5kΩ~0kΩ: Output voltage = full scale voltage × 
([5-external resistance]/5) 
The falling resistance configuration is recommended 
for safety reasons. In the event that the cables become 
accidentaly disconnected (high Ω), the voltage output 
will drop to zero. Under similar circumstances using 
the rising resistance configuaration, an unexpectedly 
high voltage would be output. 
If swtiches are used to switch between fixed 
resistances, use switches that avoid creating open 
circuits. Use short-circuit or continous resistance 
switches.
