Analog input modules accept voltage, current (4-20 mA / ±20 mA), thermocouple, and RTD signals; analog output modules drive current/voltage loops. Each module's channels map to the generic Analog Input parameter, and the input range for each channel is set in the driver.

[Noesis](https://aethair.io/platform/noesis/) sets up a dashboard, a report, or an alert from a plain-text request. ### [Compliance reports](https://aethair.io/platform/reports/) [Aethair Reports](https://aethair.io/platform/reports/) produces scheduled or on-demand reports from the instrument's readings, as a PDF or secure link. Templates cover Aethair Blue, WELL v2, cabin air (ISO 23875), and the CMS-2567 healthcare codebook (ASHRAE 170), or you can report against custom limits such as OSHA PELs, NAAQS, EPA guidance, or your own program limits. ### [Dashboards and the app](https://aethair.io/platform/dashboards/) Environet dashboards and the [Aethair App](https://aethair.io/platform/app/) show the instrument's readings just like any Aethair device. The occupant-facing [Aethair Dashboards](https://aethair.io/platform/dashboards/) status display is built around Aethair IAQ and Aethair PRO.
