industries. Their flexibility and accuracy of measurements makes them the instrument
of choice in many applications. A two wire transmitter is an electronic circuit which is
designed to run on less than 4mA of current. A Zero adjustment makes the circuit
draw exactly 4.00mA when the measured signal is at its Zero Scale level. The circuit
