Indio DG21 I/O data mA collect

I use industrino DG21 to collect data from an illuminance sensor that works with a 4-20mA signal (0-2000lx).
Using 14-bit reading (16383 raw_step) and adequate speed (59 rate/s) with a resolution of about 0.13; I would need a higher resolution between 0 - 200lx (4-5.6mA) type 0.02 (10000 raw_step) and less between 200 - 2000 lx (5.6-20mA) type 0.30 (6000 raw_step). Is it possible? and How?
Thanks.

I think the only way is updating the resolution to 18 bit (262 144) to get a res about 0.007629. Lower sampling but higher res.

After that with functions and code you can handle the data.

I use in the past, a PID controller with analog retransmition to get an specific value in the range of 4-20mA.
