BAROMETER
Type Floating
point
Value range
1013 ± 3% (except NDIR). The NDIR is capable of operating over a range of ±400%,
as long as the pressure transducer circuit gain (PCOMP_GAIN) is set to 1
Units hPa
Description
Contains the present absolute barometric pressure.
Usage
Transmitted by an analyzer which measures the pressure - as controlled by the
BAR_ENABLE variable. Read by other analyzers which do not contain an absolute
pressure transducer. Used to compensate PVA for pressure changes. Other
analyzers use PRES_IS as the name of their pressure reporting variables, but these
report gauge, not absolute pressures.
