5.24 Performing Linear Output
The linear output function outputs currents or voltages proportional to
measurement values as they change.
Select the type of linear output. Set the maximum and minimum output
measurement values to output the current or voltage for those
measurement values.

* Areas marked with an asterisk (*) are input error areas. If the “operation at
input error” parameter is set to “input error,” then the output would be like
Line B. Otherwise, the output would be like Line A.
* If operation stops without performing a measurement, then the minimum
value (e.g., 4 mA for the 4 to 20 mA range) is output.
* The value set for the upper limit does not necessarily have to be higher than
the value set for the lower limit. The following is an example of reverse
scaling.
