Unclear Documentation for use of factor in conjunction with minimum and maximum

[astedler]

If factor is set, the value given by the provider must be displayed by the consumer dividing value by factor (which then mght change from INTEGER to REAL...
But how to handle the minimum and maximum properties?
Shall i assume the they are also multiplied by factor, so that i can compare the value to minimum and maximum to check whether it is valid or not, or do i have to assume minimum and maximum are given as values already devided by factor and i have to check minimum <= value/factor <= maximum?

???

Hi,
the parameter properties Value, DefaultValue, Minimum and Maximum shall always be reported in the same unit. So you have to divide all of them by the factor or apply a formula (if provided) to them.

Is this explicitly stated in the documentation somewhere, or do we have to clarify this?

I was unable to find anything in the Documentation; That is why i asked. I stumbled over a device had a maximum of 320, a factor of 100 and a value of 5217. And my range-check failed; but it was a temperature and therefore 52.17 degree celsius is quite valid ... i guess.

The documentation now also clarifies that a factor has to be applied to the minimum, maximum and the default value, if specified.
