Using the maximum value of the parameter adjusted by RTM as
reference (100%), this parameter adjusts the RTM maximum
value in the range from 0% (0) - 100% (1.0).
Using the maximum value of the parameter adjusted by RTM as
reference (100%), this parameter adjusts the RTM minimum
value in the range from 0% (0) - 100% (1.0).
Selects the parameter to be adjusted by RTM. Parameter 1 - 4 can
