An alternative method for measuring the output of the Current Loop converter is to connect a 250 ohm 1% resistor across the current loop output in lieu of the current meter (see Figure 3-7 for pin assignments and diagram of the analog output connector). This allows the use of a voltmeter connected across the resistor to measure converter output as VDC or mVDC.

In this case, follow the procedure above but adjust the output for the following values:
