Min/max indicator
Description
The pressure transmitter has three pairs of min/max pointers which you can use to monitor
the three measured variables pressure, sensor temperature, and electronics temperature for
negative and positive peak values. For each measured value, a resettable min/max pointer
saves the maximum and minimum peak values in long-term storage in the two non-volatile
memories. Consequently, the values are available even after the device is restarted. The
min/max pointers are also updated during a simulation.

Overview of simulation
Simulation functions help you when commissioning parts of the system and the pressure
transmitter. You can generate process values without recording real measured values. The
value range of simulated process values can be tested fully: This makes the simulation of
errors possible.
