6 .7 .1 Sensor calibration constants

The calibration range and offset are the scaling factors for the transmitter, determined during

the calibration of the transmitter. As this is a multiplier to the normal transmitter range and

offset, this is not a mandatory setting, but a software calibration. This is used to correct the

transmitter value without actually calibrating the transmitter itself. The advantage is that the

changes will appear in the audit log.

This setting is also ideal for simulation purposes. With it, the transmitter can be set to any value

without an actual transmitter connected.

Range

Default value is 1. This is a multiplier to the actual transmitter range.

Offset

Default value is 0. This is an offset to the actual transmitter range.
