Compensation function
Two types of compensating functions are available.
Quadratic compensation function
A quadratic compensation function delivers
optimal results in the range where the refe-
rence measurements were made. However,
expected measurements outside of the
reference measurement range, could result
in a larger deviation.
Linear compensation function
A linear compensation function is re-
commended if measurements outside
of the reference measurement range are
expected.

You can make use of the visualization to help you choose the best suited compensation
function for your application.
