RTD/Resistance input.

Data Format changes bits 4…5 and selects between engineering
units and scaled for PID

Broken Input changes bits 6…7 and chooses how to handle an
open circuit condition

Temperature Units changes bit 8 and selects Fahrenheit or
Celsius.

Filter Frequency changes bits 9…10 and sets the cutoff
frequency of the channel filter

Clicking the Channel Enable box will set bit 11 and either enable
or disable the channel

The Excitation Current changes bit 12 and chooses 1 mA or
