parameter

See Appendix B

Selects the measured parameter to be transmitted
through the analog output channel.

Zero scale

Defines the low engineering scale (in primary units)
for the analog output corresponding to a lowest
(zero) output current (0 or 4 mA)

Full scale

Defines the high engineering scale (in primary units)

for the analog output corresponding to a highest
output current (1 or 20 mA)

Before entering the setup dialog, ensure that you selected the
correct analog current option for your expander on the
Instrument Setup tab in the Tools/Configuration dialog. For
