Value
12xx0304 FLOAT RW
NV Volt
Defines the voltage range of the sensor
E.g.: 0..10V
Value
Voltage Per Decade 12010311 FLOAT RW
NV Volt E.g.: Logarithmic Sensor
with 1000Torr SFS at 9.0V
and 1V/Decade:
Upper Limit Data Value = 1000
Upper Limit Voltage Value = 9
Voltage Per Decade = 1

0:Linear
1:Logarithmic
Value 1.0 means sensor full scale. For example for
a 0-10 Volt gauge the value 0.1 means 1 Volt

Crossover Crossover Mode 12050100 SINT8 RW
NV 0 2
Transition method between the sensors
0:Soft Switch → In the transition area a summation
of both pressure signals
1:Hard Switch → Crossover with hysteresis
2:Target Pressure →
During pressure control sensor
is selected depending on Target Pressure, in other
modes Soft Switch is used
