1.3 Pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is a piezoresitive sensor that measures absolute pressure. That’s means the
reference is vacuum. The sonde allows adding an offset to compensate the measured pressure with
the current atmospheric pressure in order to get a zeroing of the pressure sensor. However zero will
vary with changes in atmospheric pressure.
The sensor contains its own temperature measurement to make its compensation. Temperature
measurement is available in the WiMo and WiMo Plus sondes.
