Bit0: °C / °F
Bit1: bar / psi
To change the units, first enable writing in the control register, and then set the appropriate
configuration bits in the Modbus Units register.
To enable decimals on readout, values are multiplied before they are stored in the holding
register. They must be divided on readout to obtain the original value.
• Temperatures:
resolution xxx.xx
factor 100
Unit as set in Unit register
• Voltages:
resolution xx.x
factor 10
Unit as set in Unit register
On readout the value can be displayed with the unit set in this holding register without
conversion other than decimal point correction.
