Can someone please explain to me in layman's term on what does '16 bit' here mean?From this what does the 0-30840 raw value count mean, where did this value come from?

How are the actual values from the field relate to 4-20mA, the bit values and also the raw counts?

I'm so confused!

 

"16 bit" means the data from your device is quite detailed, allowing for 65,536 different levels. The "0-30840 raw value count" is a specific range your device uses to measure things, though it doesn't use the full range up to 65,536. This is likely due to how the device is set up to be precise within its needed limits.

The 4-20mA signal is a standard for how sensors communicate. Here, 4 mA is the lowest measure and 20 mA is the highest. Your device converts these into numbers between 0 and 30840 to understand and act on the data.

0-30480 counts is likely to represent 0.0-20.0mA, with 6096 counts being 4.0mA.

polarity typically uses the high order bit for bipolar A/D's.

sorry i meant to say 15 bits , not 16 bits

sorry i meant to say 15 bits. what does 'different level' here mean?

 

allowing for 65,536 different levels is the number of "counts": 0 through 65,535 or 1 through 65,536
