9.3 External temperature compensation
Temperature data are used in several different calculations. Micro Motion sensors
always report temperature data to the transmitter. For greater accuracy, you can
configure the transmitter to use a different temperature value.
There are two ways to configure external temperature compensation:
• If the operating temperature is a known static value, you can enter the
operating temperature in the software, and not poll a temperature
measurement device.
• If the operating temperature varies significantly, you configure the
transmitter to poll for an updated temperature value from an external
temperature measurement device. Polling requires HART/Bell 202
communications over the primary mA output.
