ConversionLimitEnum indicates whether the ServerUnit can be converted. A distinction is made between NO_CONVERSION, LIMITED and UNLIMITED. NO_CONVERSION means that no conversion is allowed (e.g. for statistical values). LIMITED conversion means that either only the conversions mentioned in the AlternativeUnits are to be used or the client requires specific know-how for the conversion. UNLIMITED means the conversion is simple and possible if the client knows the UnitSystem. The enumeration is defined in Table 51.
