4.1.4. Input and Output Scaling Through the adjustments of the channel's input scaling, users can optimize the analogue output's scale for maximum efficiency. This is achieved by setting the input scaling's minimum and maximum values to closely align with the sensor's measured minimum and maximum values, thereby maximizing the output scaling. - Page 17 Modbus message related to each specific channel. TX represents the data transmitted by an external master device while RX represents the data that the master is going to receive. 4.2.2. E xter nal Node A ddr es s This represents the sensor's node address as identified by an external master device. By default, the values are set to 1, 2, 3, and 4, corresponding to the channel each sensor is connected to.
