Display and Reading (P060 to P062)
These parameters are used to:
• Change the number of decimal places displayed
• Convert the Reading to alternate units
• Reference measurements to other than Empty (P006) or Span (P007)
P060 Decimal Position
Defines the maximum number of decimal places used on the LCD.
In RUN mode, the decimal position adjusts to prevent the number of digits from exceeding
the display capabilities. To keep the decimal place from shifting, reduce the number of
decimal places to that shown at 100%.
Example:
If 100% is 15 m, use two decimal places for sample readings of 15.00 or 12.15.
P061 Convert Reading
Multiplies the current value by the specified amount to allow for scaling.
Examples:
• If the measured value is in feet, enter 0.3333 to display the number of yards
• For simple linear, volume conversions set POO5 to 1 (meters) and then enter the
volume measurement per unit to get the correct conversion. For example, if the
reservoir contains 100 litres per vertical meter, use 100 to get the reading in litres.
Values
0 No digits after the decimal point
1 1 digit after the decimal point
2 * 2 digits after the decimal point
3 3 digits after the decimal point (limited by device resolution)

Notes:
• This method does not calculate volume. It must not be used in place of the
volume parameters if any volume dependent features (such as pump
efficiency) are used. To calculate true volumes see Volume (P050 to P055).
• Avoid entering a value that, when multiplied by the maximum current
Reading, exceeds the display capabilities. If value exceeds four digits, EEEE is
shown.
