2.4.3 Temperature pointer (items VP and VV)
By means of the value pointer (item VP) a vector can be loaded to the HCU or ICU_HPI option board. Next, with
item VV, the selected data is returned. Item VP consists of 4 positions, in the middle separated by a ‘.’ or ‘,’ :
v w . x y (or v w , x y). The values for the value pointer are listed in table 2 – 4 together with the obtained data.

Note:
With VP=03,10 and VP=03,11 an 864 MTT would be detected as: 764C, but then the lowest element (which is
the reference element) is located at the bottom of the probe.
