English term or phrase: peak and value
"UNIMETER process measure and monitor

Features: control effort bar-graph, peak and value, sample and hold"

Is this the same thing as the peak & trough?

Selected answer:No.
Explanation:
"Value" is almost certainly the current value; "trough" would be a minimum value and "peak" obviously a maximum value.

peak and trough value


Explanation:
The word 'trough' is missing in this text.
Peak = max. value; trough = min. value
See the Unimeter technical specifications.

Peak & trough: Standard - hot key

Sorry, had not read your other question about 'peak and trough value'. Anyway, word 'trough' is missing here and both texts should be identical.
