gain

Multiplier used to amplify or extend the range of an analog signal. Always use the largest gain which will keep the signal within the 0 to 10V input range. For example, if a transducer generates a 0 - 30 mV signal, use a gain of 300 to amplify the input signal to 0 - 9V for digitizing. For simulated sources, the gain is applied to the simulated signal.

Standard gain factors are 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200, 300.
