Example
The units meter (m) and millimeter (mm) are pre-defined for the physical quantity Length as a
standard.
To define the unit centimeter (cm), parameterize the following values:
►

Gradient m
Offset n
The new unit Centimeter (cm) is available in the set of units for the physical quantity.
Deleting a user-defined unit by marking the row Area <Name> and clicking

Adjusting display formats of physical quantities
Display formats determine how values of a physical quantity are displayed in the device in the
associated unit. Display formats are defined for each combination of physical quantity/physical
unit by means of so-called format strings. They enable decimal and exponential representation.
The format for a decimal representation determines, for example, the number of places before and
after the decimal point.
In the exponential representation, each numerical value x is represented with two
