The difference between the minimum input of an analog input point and the actual minimum signal received from a field device. For example, if a 4–20 mA input point receives a minimum signal that is slightly off (not exactly 4 mA), the difference between the two minimums is the offset. Most Opto 22 I/O processors ( brains) can calculate offset and gain for analog inputs. Also see gain.

Type of dish with the focus and feedhorn below the center of the dish.
Offset fed antennas are most commonly found on Ku Band DBS satellite dishes or ‘mini-dishes'. The benefit of the offset configuration is that it positions the feed horn away from the dish itself as to not get in the way of the satellite signal arriving from space. Offset dishes are often referred to as ‘asymmetrical' and often have a parabolic satellite dish.
