Amplified Voltage Output is convenient and robust measurement signal over medium distances to use with analogue to digital converters.
The amplified voltage output is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industry in 3 wire (common negative connection) or 4 wire (isolated input and output) configurations, the former being the most widely used today.
A amplified voltage output uses less power than the more robust 4-20mA current output, but is less susceptible to noise and length losses than the mV/V output signal.
