Is 6704 Output Range configurable?

[JaneGuo]

Hi,

This is a simple question about PCI6704.

According to the spec the output range of PCI6704 is +/-10v for voltage and 0.1-20.2mA for current, the resolution is 16-bit. When I open the test panel from the MAX it seems to let me set the max/min output limit to the channels.

Question is: is this max/min output limit really configurable per-channel? For example, if I set the max/min output of channel 0 to 0-5v, will this 5v range use all 16-bit resolution?

thanks,

Jane

The voltage output range on the 6704 is not configurable and is confined to the ±10 V range according to the PCI-6704 user manual (pg A-1).  The absolute accuracy is also listed as ±1 mv in the specifications.
