A CONTAINER is a 32-bit block of data that contains the data type used by a
parameter value. If signed, the value is sign extended. Padding is used in the
CONTAINER to ensure that it is always 32-bits.
2
This value is used in the formulas used to convert the parameter value between
display units and internal units. Refer to Formulas for Converting on page C-25.
3
Do NOT continually write parameter data to NVS. Refer to the attention on page 7-1.
