Setting device, setting method, and computer readable recording medium

A setting method that causes a computer to execute a processor comprising:

• performing communication with a transmitter for obtaining a second current output range which represents a current output range of a transmission signal passing via a loop formed between a transmitter that converts a physical quantity into a current value and an input-output device that outputs a current value input from the transmitter to a system and which has a minimum current value smaller than a minimum current value of a first current output range or a maximum current value smaller than a maximum current value of the first current output range;
• and
• setting current output corresponding to either the first current output range or the second current output range based on whether or not the second current output range is successfully obtained.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing therein a setting program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

• performing communication with a transmitter for obtaining a second current output range which represents a current output range of a transmission signal passing via a loop formed between a transmitter that converts a physical quantity into a current value and an input-output device that outputs a current value input from the transmitter to a system and which has a minimum current value smaller than a minimum current value of a first current output range or a maximum current value smaller than a maximum current value of the first current output range;
• and
• setting current output corresponding to either the first current output range or the second current output range based on whether or not the second current output range is successfully obtained.
