Technical note

The pressure of the measured environment affects the accuracy of humidity calculations, especially calculations that are dependent on pressure (for example, mixing ratio). To achieve accurate output of all humidity parameters, you are recommended to update the value of the pressure compensation setpoint to match the environmental pressure when installing the probe.

For example, when you install the probe in a process with a pressure differing from normal atmospheric pressure, update the correct pressure into the pressure compensation setpoint parameter or register of the probe using the Insight software or the Indigo80 handheld indicator.
