The display is normally configured to display the measuring channel output in the numbered
position starting to the right of the display. For example, if you wish to read the output from
channel 4 you will need to set the display switch to `4' which will read the output from the
module 4 positions to the right of the display. Some function card modules contain dual channel
outputs, these modules will count as 2 positions. For example, if you had 2 measuring
channels, a dual RMS->DC converter card (dynamic module -004), and a third measuring
channel in the fourth slot, when the display switch is on channel 4 you will read the RMS
output of channel 2 and if the switch is on channel 5 you will read the measuring channel in
the fourth position to the right of the display. Some modules have no outputs that go to the
display, these modules count as 0 positions. The following table gives the displayed outputs
and count. The channel numbers are relative to the modules to the left of the function card.
