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.
