How to Program
Conversion and Unit of measurement (index 4):
The Conversion and unit of measurement command
indicates the conversion of a parameter and the
unit of measurement. The answer to the master
is in PWE
LOW
. The conversion index is in the high
byte of PWE
LOW
and the unit index is in the low
byte of PWE
LOW
. Conversion index is signed 8 and
unit index is unsigned 8, see the tables.

The unit index defines the "Unit of measure". The conversion index defines how the
value should be scaled to ge t the basic representation of the "Unit of measure". Basic
representation is wh ere conversion index equa ls "0".
Example:
A parameter has a "unit index" of 9 and a "conversion index" of 2. The raw (integer) value read
is 23. This means that we have a parameter of the unit "Power" and the raw value should be
multiplied by 10 to the power of 2 and the unit is W. 23 x 10
2
= 2300 W
