Revision: A

5.3

Scaling analog outputs

Select relevant function (e.g. PitchM).

2. Choose

Signals.

3. Choose

Outputs.

4. Choose the desired signal from the list (e.g. Pitch_Feedback).
5. Press the Goto button.
The scaling adjustments can be set manually or automatically. Which method to use

depends on the application. In our example we have to use manual setting. Enter the

manual method by pressing the Edit min/zero/max button and use the + and - buttons to

increase and decrease the value in small steps until the desired output current is obtained.
