Correction factor and offset Setting a correction offsets systematic errors of the analog signals. The cor-
rection is determined by multiplying a factor by the sum of the offset. The
minimum and maximum values of the function values apply as a limit value
for the correction. There is no limit for the correction offset.

NOTICE Damage to the device and sensors!
Incorrectly connected and configured analog inputs/outputs may result in
damage to the device and sensor.
► Follow information about connecting analog sensors.
► Configure analog inputs and outputs according to the connected sensors.
The following information is displayed in tabular form for configuring the ana-
log inputs and outputs. Grayed-out elements cannot be changed.
