Overview
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report
process data, totalizer data, and inventory data in a unit that is not available in the
transmitter. A special measurement unit is calculated from an existing measurement unit
using a conversion factor.
Note
Although you cannot define a special measurement unit using the display, you can use the display to
select an existing special measurement unit, and to view process data using the special
measurement unit.
