resistance of the four piezoresistors (bridge circuit) of the gauge pressure sensor. The
change in the resistance causes a bridge output voltage proportional to the inlet pressure.
Transmitters with measuring span ≤ 63 bar measure the inlet pressure against atmosphere,
those with measuring spans ≥ 160 bar against vacuum.
