    Set Pressure Value for ppm Calculation ® The DRYCAP 180U sensor in the DMT152 is not pressure-dependent. When measuring dewpoint, pressure compensation is not needed. However, in the calculation of ppm volume concentration, the pressure of the system must be known. If you did not specify pressure compensation when ordering the product, use the commands below to enable the pressure compensation and set the pressure value.
