Data Type: DS-68
The high and low scale values and engineering
units code are read only. This parameter
determines the number of digits to the right of the
decimal point used with the value obtained from
the transducer for a specified channel.

Data Type: DS-70
Options for controlling access of host computers
and local control panels to operating, tuning, and
alarm parameters of the block.

Readback
READBACK
16 RO N/A
Status
Data Type: DS-65
Readback is the de-characterized valve position
as reported by the transducer block parameter
FINAL_POSITION_VALUE [17]. This correlates
with the AO block parameter OUT [9], which is
the setpoint to the transducer. READBACK is the
simulated input if SIMULATE is enabled or the
transducer block feedback if SIMULATE is
disabled.
