@ -373,13 +373,16 @@ Let us define any value outside the 4mA to 20mA range as an error condition.
As a voltage, we use ohms law~\cite{aoe} to determine the voltage ranges: $V=IR$, $0.004A * \ohms{220} = 0.88V$
and $0.020A * \ohms{220} = 4.4V$.
%
Our acceptable voltage range is therefore $$V >= 0.88 \wedge V<= 4.4 \; .$$
Our acceptable voltage range is therefore
$$(V \ge 0.88) \wedge (V \le 4.4) \; .$$
This voltage range forms our input requirement.
%
We can now examine a software function that performs a conversion from the voltage read to
a per~mil representation of the {\ft} input current.

or the purpose of example the `C' programming language is used.
For the purpose of example the `C' programming language is used.
We initially assume a function \textbf{read\_ADC} which returns a floating point %double precision
value which holds the voltage read (see code sample in figure~\ref{fig:code_read_4_20_input}).
