FSO – Full Scale Output

Full Scale Output (FSO) can have two meanings. The first meaning is that it is the resulting output signal or displayed reading produced when the maximum measurement for a given device is applied. The second meaning applies to the difference between the minimum and maximum output value.

Full Range Output (FRO) and Full Span Output (FSO) can also be used instead of Full Scale Output, and both have exactly the same meaning.
