Field Description
Eng Unit Text
The “unit” (ppm, gal, psi, etc.) text that appears on the front panel display
when you display the current value of the device via the front panel. For
example, if a monitor device with a monitoring capability of parts per
million is attached to the ZAM, you might put ppm in this field.
4mA Value
This is the lowest value that the device reports. When the device is at this
value, it draws 4mA of current from the ZAM.
20mA Value
This is the highest value that the device reports. When the device is at
this value, it draws 20mA of current from the ZAM.
