You can choose one of three scaling methods:
binary counts
default scaling
user scaling
User scaling is not available when you select discrete transfer mode.
The following table shows the output signals produced by various module
data values entered in each of the three scaling methods. In the user scaling
column, S
max
was set to 5000 and S
min
was set to 0000.

The 0 to 20mA output provides 13 bits of resolution and is capable of
driving loads as large as 1k ohm.
