See CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF OVERALL ACURACY.
• Input accuracy: (% of max. input range)
-1000 – +1000 mV : ±0.01 %
-10 – +10 V : ±0.01 %
0 – 50 mA : ±0.02 %
• Output accuracy: ±0.04 % of max. output range
Temp. coefficient: ±0.01 %/°C (±0.006 %/°F) of max. span

CALCULATION EXAMPLES OF OVERALL ACCURACY

[Example] Input Type -10 – +10 V, Input Range 1 – 5 V, Output Type -5 – +5 V, Output Range 1 – 5 V
• Input accuracy = Max. Input Range (20 V) ÷ Span (4 V) × 0.01 % = 0.05 %
• Output accuracy = Max. Output Range (10 V) ÷ Span (4 V) × 0.04 % = 0.1 %
Accuracy= ±0.15 %

SCHEMATIC CIRCUITRY & CONNECTION DIAGRAM

FUNCTIONS

■ CONTROL LOGIC
The control input can be chosen either hold at open or hold at close by using the PC Configurator Software. 
For detailed information on the PC Configuration, refer to the M6CFG users manual.
 
■ TRACK/HOLD
When the control input is TRACK, the output follows proportionally to the input. 
When the control input turns to HOLD, the output at the point of command is held indefinitely.
 
■ PEAK HOLD
• Peak hold
When the control input is TRACK, the output follows proportionally to the input.
When the control input is HOLD, the output is held at the maximum input value.
When the maximum input value is updated, the output changes to that value.
• Valley hold
When the control input is TRACK, the output follows proportionally to the input.
When the control input is HOLD, the output is held at the minimum input value.
When the minimum input value is updated, the output changes to that value.
• Peak-to-peak hold
When the control input is TRACK, the output follows proportionally to the input.
When the control input is HOLD, the output is held at the maximum peak-to-peak input value (max. value – min. value).
For example, the output is 20% if the maximum input value is 60% and the minimum input value is 40%. 
When the maximum peak-to-peak input value is updated, the output changes to that value.
