Can I use other ranges than -10 to 10 with the SCC

[dclapa]

I cannot seem to set the SCC to ranges other than -10V to 10V when I set it up. Is it actually more sophisticated than I think and able to set the channels based on their individual settings or does it just let me only run all channels as -10 to 10. All my sensors are 0-5V or 1-5V so I would be losing 2 bits of resolution if I cannot change the setting. I am using Feed Through modules for all my input channels.

Hi

The range (-10V to 10V) you are seeing is the range of the AD-Converter of your board, not the one of your FT-modul. (The FT-Modul has no range settings). You have to set the input limits in your SW environment. If you set the input limits, than the best gain which your board provides is applied. See this link to see how it's working in LV.

Hope this helps
