Abstract
The invention pertains to a device such as a sensor, operator device, communication device, or a liquid level metering device, with a measured value input to apply a measured value. The device includes at least a first memory region to provide for an adjustment factor, and a computer, which is designed and/or controlled to multiply a first whole number by a floating-point number to obtain a product of the multiplication, while the first whole number corresponds either to the applied measured value or the provided adjustment factor; and, the floating-point number corresponds to the other measured value or to the adjustment factor. The computer has a second memory region for the storing of the floating-point number in a format of a second whole number, and the computer is designed and/or controlled to carry out a multiplication of the first whole number and the second whole number.
