The software version of the gauge can be calculated from the value of byte 6 of the
transmitted string according to the following rule:
Version No = Value
Byte 6
/ 20
(Example: According to the above formula, Value
Byte 6
of 32 means software ver-
sion 1.6)
The pressure can be calculated from bytes 4 and 5 of the transmitted string. De-
pending on the currently selected pressure unit (
® byte 2, bits 4 and 5), the ap-
propriate rule must be applied.
As result, the pressure value results in the usual decimal format.
