B.3 Analog Output Formats
You can configure ADAM analog output modules to receive data from the
host in one of the following data formats:

-Engineering Units

-Percent of FSR
-Twos complement hexadecimal
Data for ADAM modules can be used in any one of the following data
formats:
B.3.1 Engineering Units
This format is chosen by setting bits 0 and 1 of the data format/slew rate/
checksum parameter to 00.
Data is presented in natural units such as milliamps. The Engineering Units
format is readily parsed by most computer languages as the total data string
length is fixed at six characters: two decimal digits a decimal point and three
decimal digits. The resolution is 5 µA.
Example: An analog output module (address 01h) is configured for a 0 to 20
mA range. If the output value is + 4.762 mA the format of the Analog Data
Out command would be #0104.762(cr).
