MTIM

Setting the measurement integration time

MTIM nnn

nnn

=

number of cycles measured (4...255)

By lengthening the measurement integration time any stray changes in the out-
put can be filtered out: the transmitter calculates the average of a number of
measurement cycles defined by the user. The command can be given in two
ways:

>MTIM
Mtim : 4 ? 5

or

>MTIM 5
Mtim : 5

PRES

Setting the pressure for mixing ratio calculations

PRES pppp.pp

pppp.pp =

pressure (hPa)

The atmospheric pressure has an effect on mixing ratio. Therefore accurate
mixing ratio calculations can be achieved only when the ambient pressure is
taken into consideration.

When the command is given, the transmitter first gives the currently used
pressure; after this a new value can be entered or the old one acknowledged:

>PRES
Pressure : 1013.25 ? 1000.00

When the currently used pressure is known, a new pressure can also be entered
directly:

>PRES 1010
Pressure : 1010

NOTE

If the pressure setting is frequently adjusted, e.g. by
using an external barometer as a pressure input source,
the command XPRES is recommended.
