3.1 Signal Path
The signal path describes the rough position of a parameter in the signal processing chain. The path starts
with the measuring value in the top left corner and finishes either with a physical pin (top right) or as output
via the process data (bottom right).
Figure 3 Illustrates the signal path from raw data to an output either through a physical pin (top right) or as
output via the process data (bottom right)
