The data format A format applied to the raw parameter value being read from a controller. Data formats are used for scaling, and to read values that are floating point or other. To apply a data format, you type it as the last part of the controller address for the parameter value. See also: controller, parameter. tells the server The computer on which the Experion database software and server utilities run. See also: Experion server TPS. how to interpret the register value. The possible formats are:

n |
Bit field. n represents the starting bit (0–15). This cannot be used with a named address. |

MODE |
Informs the server that the address is a mode parameter Also known as point parameter. A unit of information about a point. For example, an analog point includes parameters such as process variable parameter (PV), output parameter (OP) and setpoint parameter (SP).
