Calibration of the Pressure Sensor

This operation is reserved to those professionals who hold a
highly accurate laboratory standard. The consequence of any
wrong calibration will be to supply erroneous data on all the
measurements relating to pressure.

Calibration is carried out from the measuring mode for absolute pressure.
Proceed in the same way as with the other calibrations. The number
displayed on the middle block indicates the shift in 1/32th hectopascals,
and the lower block shows the absolute pressure on the sensor. Other
calibrations are possible, but only via SkywatchLog.
