The setting for the units of measurement influences only the
display. In the controller all parameters are always saved in
increment specifications (inc, inc/s, inc/s

...) and not con-
verted until they are written or read.
Measurements transmitted via Fieldbus or RS232 are based
on increments (for conversion see appendix A.4).
