Measured-Value Representation

After conversion, the digital result is stored in the module’s RAM.
The bits in both bytes have the following significance:

Digital Result Representation

Bits 0 to 2 in byte 1 have no influence on the measured value, they only give
information on measured-value representation. The following table describes
their significance in more detail.

A measuring-point overflow does not affect the overflow bits of the other channels;

i.e. the measured values of unaffected channels are correct and can be evaluated.

Please note the following special features:

S

Bit 7 in the high byte (2

12

) indicates the sign for bipolar measured-value

representation (two’s complement and value with sign).

S

Bit 6 in the high byte (2

11

) is not used in the case of bipolar

measured-value representation (no overrange).

S

The 466 module has no overrange.

S

Selective sampling is not possible with the 466 module
(active bit is not set).
