Setting Monitor Focus

With analog output, the relationship between the output value and measured value to be displ ayed can be set
as desired to convert the measurement result to 4 to 20 mA current or -10 to +10 V voltage before output.
Set the focus to match the connected external device.
The output range can be set by entering the output value for the current or voltage values for any two points.

Discrepancies may occur between the current value/voltage value output as analog set on the Sensor
Controller and the current value/voltage value actually measured due to the conditions for the connected
external device or other factors.
The analog output adjustment function can be used to correct this discrepancy.
The output values are corrected by entering the adjustment value for the current or voltage values for any two
points.
