When you set either the Temperature compensation mode or Pressure compensation mode to use measurement from an External sensor, you can configure the scale of the external sensor input in the Analog input 1 menu.
The Input mode and Input parameter selections are set automatically based on the external compensation parameter
selection.

Insight
You can receive the compensation
value from an external sensor for only one parameter (temperature or pressure) at a
time.
Store the setting with Save.
In the Analog input 1 menu, enter the scaling for the temperature or pressure input from the external
sensor.
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.
