1 Objective
To write a program that allows a user to input the percentage of current that
he wants to get from the converter. The range of the converter is from 4 to 20
mA. The zero percent represents 4 mA and the full percent is equal to 20 mA.

2 Methodology
The program was written using the software MatLab. To accomplish the objec-
tive, an interpolation was used, setting the lowest value (4 mA) to zero percent
and the highest value (20 mA) to one hundred percent, resulting in the next
equation:
16(100 − P )
i = 20 − (1)
100
Where:

i= is the resultant current from the converter (output current).

P= is the percentage of current that the user wants to get.

A dialog box were used to allow the user to input the percentage and another
one to show the output current from the converter.
