+/-10V:		X		X
0-2.5V:	X		X		X
or			X		X
+/-2.5V:	X		X	X
or			X	X

An X means that a jumper is installed in that location. Only one half of pin header J4 is shown. Positions F A B U are repeated for each bank of 8 channels.

⇒Note: Each bank of eight channels (0 - 7 and 8 - 15) can have a different output range setting. However, all eight channels within a bank will always have the same output range.
