Using the transmitter display
Enter a floating-point value using decimal notation
Decimal notation allows you to enter values between –9999999 and 99999999. You can use the
decimal point to enter values with a precision of 0 through 4 (4 digits to the right of the decimal point).
Decimal values entered via the display must meet the following requirements:
• They can contain a maximum of 8 digits, or 7 digits plus a minus sign (–) to indicate a negative
number.
• They can contain a decimal point. The decimal point does not count as a digit. The decimal point
must be positioned so that the precision of the value does not exceed four.
When you first enter the configuration screen, the current configuration value is displayed in decimal
notation, and the active character is flashing. If the value is positive, no sign is displayed. If the value is
negative, a minus sign is displayed.
