2.4 Configuration of the Analog Interfaces
2.4.1 Available Analog Interfaces
A pH ARC Sensor has two individual physical analog interfaces that have identical functionalities, but
can be configured independently from each other.
 Analog Output Interface 1 (AO1)
 Analog Output Interface 2 (AO2)
The number of analog interfaces is defined in register 4320.

Figure 2.4.1.2: Example to read the available analog interfaces. The answer is “ 0x03 ”meaning that
there exists an Analog Interface 1 (AO1) and an Analog Interface 2 (AO2).
2.4.2 Available Analog Interface Modes
With register 4322, the available analog interface modes for AO1 and AO2 are defined
