For safety reasons, it is not possible to change the pressure unit while
the gauge is cyclically interchanging data with a DP/V0 master.

The data unit setting can only be modified when the gauge is in the IDLE
status.

In cyclic data traffic, the data unit must be set in the User Parameter
Data. All settings previously made in acyclic data traffic are overwritten
(

→ section "User Parameter Data").

If the data unit is set in one instance, that data unit setting applies to all
instances. Likewise, the data unit setting made in the User Parameter
Data is valid for all instances.


This parameter indicates that the pressure reading is within a valid range, which
means that:

• The gauge is in the EXECUTING status.
• There is no error (ID 26 or 27 of the Device Block)
• The measured value is lower than the overrange value and higher than the

underrange value.

If this value is set to zero, the pressure reading is not valid. In such a
case, either check Exception Status (ID 26, Device Block) to find out
whether there is an error or check One Of N Status Extension (ID 120,
One Of N Vacuum Gauge Transducer Block) to find out whether the
measured value is out of the specified measuring range (overrange or
underrange mode).


This parameter contains the valid maximum value of the pressure reading
(1000 mbar) in the currently selected data unit and data type.
