All the four properties above are vendor specific, so they need a vendor
prefix. Also no underscores in property names and no abbreviations. Also I
wonder if some of them should rather be runtime configurable, like range and
bandwidth,

This doesn't look as if the device needs a special conversion formula. Just
expose the raw value and ratio as the scale.
