6. Changing Input Characteristics
For the 4AD, the standard input characteristics are provided for each input mode (BFM #0) at the time of
factory shipment.
Changing the offset data (BFM #41 to #44) or gain data (BFM #51 to #54), however, can change the input
characteristics of each channel. This chapter describes how to change the input characteristics.
6.1 Procedure for Changing Input Characteristics
1 Determine the input mode (BFM #0)
Determine the optimum input mode (BFM #0) for the selected channels and the voltage/current
specifications.
Example: Enter "HFF00" in BFM #0 to set input mode 0 for channels 1 and 2 and prevent use channels 3 and
4.
Caution regarding data setting:
• If a channel is set to the value "2", "5", "8" or "F", the input characteristics of the channel cannot be
changed.
• Set the optimum input mode for the analog signal to be input.
