In the device, the characteristic curve vertices are only provided once in the EEPROM.
Therefore,
if the measuring mode is changed, you will usually need to adjust the characteristic
curve accordingly.
The characteristic curve function expects at least two and at the most 30 characteristic curve
vertices as input parameters. Characteristic curve vertices are entered in pairs of values
x %;y %. The values for the x-coordinate are only accepted by the device when they run
monotonically. The y-coordinates, on the other hand, may also be non-monotonic. A warning
will however be issued by the configuring device, which you as the user have to recognize and
acknowledge. The output of the characteristic curve is not explicitly stored in a device variable,
but rather is directly interconnected with the input of the next function block in each case. The
pairs of values 0%;0% and 100%;100% are set as default values. In principle, rising and falling
characteristic curves can be configured. With regard to the device variable status, rising
characteristic curves are however preferred. Otherwise the meanings of HIGH LIMIT and LOW
LIMIT are swapped.

7.3.6 Measuring mode "Level"
Description
Once you have configured the measuring mode "Level", the device variables "Level", "Volume"
and "Mass" are activated. They are all inferred from the measured pressure. The "Level" block
here represents a series of permanently interconnected functions which you need to configure
