Barometer

Description

The barometer sensor is a way of measuring atmospheric pressure from a range of different interfaces. The barometer sensor will output voltage based on the absolute pressure in the air in processing and has a standard measurement tools for recording the atmospheric pressure.

Range upper

Range upper is the upper limit of absolute pressure that the sensor can measure

Range lower

Range lower is the lower limit of absolute pressure that the sensor can measure

Maximum output

Maximum output is the maximum voltage the sensor can output at the upper range

Minimum output

Minimum output is the minimum voltage the sensor can output at the lower range

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the input sensitivity of the barometer. It is default calculated based on the range and output but can manually be changed dependent if desired.

Calibration date

Calibration date is last date where the sensitivity has been changed
