  • Page 39: Managing Settings With The Ecowitt App

    Managing Settings with the Ecowitt APP Calibration of sensors Sensors are usually already factory calibrated, but in certain cases their readings need location dependent correction (e.g. local and sea level normalized air pressure, UVI etc.) or you may choose to correct their readings based on your own discretion.

  • Page 41: Uvi Calibration

    So, you have to enter the offset before the proper relative pressure is shown. what so far has been used with Ecowitt consoles is to calculate the difference between local pressure and sea level pressure (offset) and enter this as a positive value into the Rel.
