output range of FW-7344 (16bit D/A conversion)

[bbl]

I am not sure if I did the calculation correctly:

As stated in the user manual, the analog input for FW-7344 is 12-bit, with my setting of +/- 10V Input Range, the cooresponding binary value is from -2,048 to 2047.   However, for the "16-bit" analog output (or digital/analog conversion), I'm not sure if the conversion is done based on my +/-10V setting (i.e. -32768 to 32767) or if it depends on another device that the output is connected to?

Thanks~

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly or if I miss something. The analog output should work as you have written. Of course the voltage would drop if the input impedance of your exernal drive was too low.

Please let me know if this answers your question.
