Overview
A special measurement unit is a user-defined unit of measure that allows you to report
process data in a unit that is not available in the transmitter. A special measurement unit is
calculated from an existing measurement unit using a conversion factor.
Procedure
1. Specify Density Special Unit Base.
Density Special Unit Base is the existing density unit that the special unit will be based
on.
2. Calculate Density Special Unit Conversion Factor as follows:
