Using Insight, you can configure the following temperature and pressure compensation settings:
- Temperature or pressure compensation mode (select the source where the compensation value is received from)
- The setpoint values for temperature or pressure compensation
- The scaling of the analog input channel (Analog input 1) that is used to receive temperature or pressure values from an external sensor.
Figure 1 describes the different environmental compensation selections in Insight.
- 1
- Compensation power-up defaults: configure the setpoint compensation values that are taken into use at device reset. Used when the temperature or pressure compensation mode is set as Setpoint.
- 2
- Compensation setpoints: configure the temporary setpoint compensation values that are in use while the device is powered on, but revert back to power-up defaults when the device is reset. Used when the temperature or pressure compensation mode is set as Setpoint.
- 3
- Measurement (shown in figure): configure the pressure and temperature compensation modes (available options: Setpoint, External, Measured (temperature only), and Off.
- 4
- Analog input 1: configure the input from the external pressure or temperature sensor (used when the pressure or temperature compensation mode is set as External).
| The external pressure instrument connected to MGP260 must output 4–20 mA and use absolute pressure units. The default range for the input is 1 … 1.6 bar(a). Note that the pressure unit used in Insight is hPa. The default input scale for the external pressure instrument is 0 … 1.6 bar(a), which corresponds to 0 … 1600 hPa. |
