Scaling
The graphs below show the relationship between the input voltage or current measured at
the field terminals and the data that is output by the module.

The following equation can be used to calculate counts values:
Counts = ( Current in mA - 4mA) x (32768 / 16.38mA
For a change in the reported count value to be seen, input current must be increased by at
least 4µA. If the module receives an increase less than 4µA, the previous count value is
still reported. For example:
