* When current, voltage, or resistance input types are selected, the temperature setting is ignored and does not affect the data format.
** When Type B or Type C thermocouples cannot be represented in engineering units x 1 in °F above 3276.6°F, the module’s software will treat it as an
over range condition if that channel has input to full scale.
