In the world of 4-20mA instrumentation, is there any such thing as a=20 typical or ideal input resistor at the receiver end? I notice a few diagrams using a 250R res across the Rx input terminals,=20 which seems a default value. To some extent I guess it can be altered to=20 provide the required voltage from the current range. It seems that I need to specify enough voltage at the Tx end, to=20 overcome both the cable's length and the Rx's Zin. Both these=20 resistances are a little undefined to me at this point. Any personal experiences about this please?
