Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 6, wherein at least one of the following applies:
the first function and the second function are such that the artificial pointer speed is continuous at the lower limit quantity;
the first function and the second function are such that the artificial pointer speed is a continuous function;
the first function is a non-linear function of the measured current filling quantity, and the second function is a linear function of the measured current filling quantity, wherein the slope of the linear function is identical or close to identical to the artificial pointer speed of the first pointer below, but close to the lower limit quantity;
the first function is defined, in the range of the measured current filling quantity range from the starting filling quantity to the lower limit quantity, by the expression:, X
