You can edit this screen or accep t it using the F4 (enter) key. Th e asterisk beside the data type
disappears, to show that the current values have been sa ved. Valid values for analog out put data
length are 0-8. If this length is set to less than 8 and the module has not been previously configured
the outputs of unused chan n els will go to 0mA. However, if th e mod u l e has been configured
previously and is reconfigured to use fewer channels, the channels that are “removed” will continue
to output current at their previously-configured levels until the module is reset.

The BIU will not send data to the module until all three data types (I, Q, and AQ) have been
configured.
