*1 The total input delay time increases in proportion to the number of channels used. Input channels that have been set to unused are not
included in the number of enabled input channels.
*2 The arbitrary setting is a function that uses the digital resolution data by scaling it to arbitrary data (that arbitrarily sets the lower limit value and
the upper limit value). The range setting (-32,768 to 32,767) is specified with data registers.
Example: When -5 V is input, 1,024 is displayed as long as the arbitrary setting is not configured, but -500 is displayed when the arbitrary
setting is configured as upper limit value = 1,000 and lower limit value = -1,000, and this makes it easier to intuitively read the input
voltage value.
*3 Input data out of range is reflected in the status of the analog module.
