39  

Pressure = units  units scale * (field  calibration scale *(press. in mB - calibration offset)) 

 

where: 

 

press. in mB is the factory calibration pressure as returned by the M1 command. 

 

calibration offset is entered by the XC command 

 

calibration scale is entered by the XC command 

 

field offset is entered by the XE or XS commands 

 

units scale and units offset are set by the combination of the XUP and XUU commands. 

 

Note:  Calibration scale and calibration offset can be determined via the M4 command. 

Note:  The current value of field offset, user units offset, and user units scale can be determined via the M3 

command.
