Introduction
In "Pressure" measuring mode, you can set or adjust the start of scale value and full scale
value using the buttons. Modes 2 and 3 are used for this. Rising and falling characteristic
curves can be realized with appropriate use of the buttons. If the transmitter is not in
"Pressure" measuring mode, this mode is skipped in local operation.
