8.5. Measurement of output currents using test points
If a current output has been connected e.g. to a process computer, the output
current cannot be measured at the output connector X2 without disconnecting
the external load. The output current can, however, be measured at test points
CH1+/CH1- and CH2+/CH2- without disconnecting the output wires. These
test points can therefore be used in one point offset correction against an accu-
rate reference or in checking the current output without disconnecting the
analogue output from the process.
