here you go my friend:

This is a conversion table, BUT it's in kilopascals (kPA), not your hkPA. So you'll have to take your .73 hkpA, multiply it by 100 to kPA (kilo pascals) which equals 73 kPA. Then choose from kilopascal to psi conversion and your set

OR:

I happened to do this in class today, and supposedly 1.00 khPA = 14.5 psi, so your .73 khPA should equal 10.585 psi (1.00X = 14.5 x 0.73, X= 10.585) Just plug whatever number you want into the 0.73 area and solve for X

I "think" you can convert to psi. It might be in the instructions... unless I'm thinking of the SBC i-D.

If it reads out how many bar like mine does, then simple. 1bar = 14.7psi. Multiple the number times 14.7 and you have your boost psi.

Your unit reads .62bar peak:
.62 x 14.7 = 9.114psi

I actually have my DTT in the flip-top compartment, and on the flip top, the inside, I have a printed sticker with all the simple conversions from .40, .45, up to 1.0, with their respective values in PSI, makes it convenient to look down see peak of .86 and know its approx psi instead of trying to convert everytime...
