6. Programming
The output of the voltage divider can be measured with a differential voltage
instruction (VoltDiff() in CRBasic or Instruction 2 (P2) in Edlog) or a single-
ended voltage instruction (VoltSe() in CRBasic or Instruction 1 (P1) in Edlog).
Select the smallest input voltage range that will accommodate the maximum
expected output. The smallest possible range will provide the best resolution.
