1. Except for the signed power factor (see Note 3 to Table 5-23), the output scale is linear within the value
range. The scale range will be inverted if the full scale specified is less than the zero scale.
2. For bi-directional analog output (
±
1 mA), the zero scale corresponds to the center of the scale range (0
mA) and the direction of the current matches the sign of the output parameter. For signed (bi-
directional) values, such as powers and signed power factor, the scale is always symmetrical with
regard to 0 mA, and the full scale corresponds to +1 mA output for positive readings and to -1 mA
output for negative readings. For these, the zero scale (0 mA output) is permanently set in the
instrument to zero for all parameters except the signed power factor for which it is set to 1.000. In the
write request, the zero scale is ignored. No error will occur when you attempt to change it. Unsigned
parameters are output within the current range 0 to +1 mA and can be scaled using both zero and full
scales as in the case of single-ended analog output.

Except for the signed power factor (see Note 3 to Table 5-23), the output scale is linear within the value range.
The scale range will be inverted if the full scale specified is less than the zero scale.
NOTE
Analog expander outputs settings will not be in effect until the analog expander output is globally enabled. To
activate the analog expander output, set the analog expander option to the enabled state in the user selectable
options setup (see Section 5.3).
