This command can be used to change the type of input signal (voltages or current) and to define 
the direction of the signal. This command is available for all analog inputs (W, X, and V).  
OFF= Deactivation of the input

N_RANGE (nominal range or nominal stroke) is used to define the length of the sensor. This 
value should be always higher than SYS_RANGE. The control parameter cannot be calculated 
correctly in case of wrong values.
