The unit of measurement for the transmitter when the distance and level are set.
If “custom unit” is selected, the unit uses the unit of length as the distance unit based on the value
specified in “User Unit.”

The unit of the transmitted number when set to volume measurement. The device converts the
measured level into volume by calculation.
It is done by using a level-dependent (non-linear) function.
It also gives the unit of measure for the “Output” co
lumn in the VM table (OC).

The unit of the transmitter number if the device is set for weight measurement. The device converts the
measured level into weight.
It is done by using a level-dependent (non-linear) function.
It also gives the unit of measure for the “Output” column in the VM table (OC).

The distance in "custom unit" is the distance in meters multiplied by P07 to get. The corresponding
setting field only appears or is active if "custom unit" is selected in the unit system.
The reference of the multiplier is meter, the value of the conversion factor must always be given in
relation to it.
For example, if the conversion factor is 10, then the new unit is 10 m (33 ft) or if the conversion factor
is 0.1, the new unit is 0.1 m.
