	Analog Inputs

The analog inputs will report a specific voltage ranging from 0 to 30 in increments of 0.03 volts. This allows a fine degree of monitoring for a scaling device.

•Monitoring a voltage or power usage.

•Monitoring an oscilloscope.

•Monitoring temperature.

•Monitoring an incremental gauge.

•Monitoring an internal fan.

•Monitoring a vehicle payload.

•Monitoring the elevation of a tow bar.

•Monitoring a vehicle’s battery use.
