English term

to span the transmiters

English to French Tech/Engineering Metrology
It is recommended **to span the transmitters** so their minimum signal would not be less than 10%.

Discussion

Oliver Walter Sep 1, 2010:
Transmitters? Transmitters of radio signals, or sensors that transmit a measurement signal in a process control system? I imagine only the latter would have a "span" (as in Kashew's ref.).

régler la plage de mesure des transmetteurs

assuming they are parts of a process control system, not radio transmitters.

I took "plage de mesure" (span) and "transmetteur de mesure" (transmitter) from Elsevier's Dictionary of Automatic Control (1963 edition) to form my suggested translation. "plage" and "transmetteur" are in current use in a context like this
(http://www.wimesure.fr/cbx/s4_cat225.htm for example)
