Purpose of Channel Maximum and Minimum value

[aprucka]

Hello,
I am working with .NET Class Libraries to build a tool which interfaces with a force bridge load cell. When using the example software for force bridge sampling, there is a section in the top left which asks for a minimum and maximum channel value. Adjusting the values does not seem to change the sensor output whatsoever. What is the purpose of these items? I can't seem to find anything online either.
Thanks

Those maximum and minimum values help the driver determine the appropriate channel range (input/output) to accommodate the min/max values.

This is useful for DAQ with multiple ranges.
