The process display appears on the LCD display when the
device is switched on. It shows information about the device
and current process values.
The way in which the current process values (2) are shown
can be adjusted on the configuration level.
The decimal point is positioned automatically so that the
maximum value can be displayed as a six-figure value. If the
value is exceeded, "Overflow" is shown as six upward or
downward pointing arrows. A decimal point counts as a place
and is no longer displayed after the sixth place.
