modules´. Output type 0-10 V or 0-20 mA can only be selected with the relay trig-
ger adapter.
The following output variants can normally be programmed:
Measuring channel
Assigned, reference channel Output of the measured value from a reference channel
Driven
In this menu the measuring channel can be set; however, it can be changed
in the menu ´Measuring channel´ or via the interface.
In the second variant ´Assigned´ the analog output is assigned to a specific ref-
erence channel. This can be specified via the function ´Channel´.
With the driven analog output any output value can be specified via the keypad
or the interface. (see Manual 6.10.7)
In the function ´Analog output´ it is always the current analog output value
that is shown.
Scaling the analog output
When configuring a measured value output it is also possible, in the same
menu, by means of the functions ´Analog start´ and ´Analog end´, to have the
measuring range actually used for the measuring channel spread over the full
10 V or 20 mA. (see 13.2.9)
The output range 4-20 mA can only be enabled for the 20 mA analog outputs.

13.6 Device settings

The menu item ´Device settings´ leads to a further selection list with the follow-
ing device functions:
132.6.1 Communication (device address, baud rate)
13.6.2 Macros
13.6.3 Operating parameters
13.6.4 Device compensation values
13.6.5 Calibration data
13.6.6 General device settings (language, time-of-day, display)

13.6.1 Communication

All ALMEMO ® devices can be networked together very easily via the serial in-
terface, thus enabling the user to centrally acquire and record measured val-
ues from several measuring instruments - even if these are located far apart.
(see Manual 5.3) To communicate with networked devices interconnected via
serial interface it is absolutely essential that all the devices concerned have the
same baud rate setting but that each have its own dedicated address; this en-
sures that only one device responds per command. Before starting network op-
eration therefore it is important to ensure that all measuring instruments in-
volved are set to the same baud rate but that each is assigned its own unique
device address.
When connecting V5/V6 and V7 devices to the same PC at the same time a
separate interface is required for each group; this is because of the different
