Claim 0:
1. A controller for an environmental sensor, the environmental sensor providing digital environmental measurement values from analog environmental measurements performed by analog circuitry, the digital environmental measurement values lying in a global scale range or wide scale range, wherein the controller is configured to subject the global scale range or wide scale range to a subdivision into a plurality of scale subranges which are proper subranges of the global scale range or wide scale range, wherein the plurality of scale subranges includes at least one first and one second scale subranges, wherein the first scale subrange is different from the second scale subrange, the first scale subrange is not a proper subrange of the second scale subrange, and the second scale subrange is not a proper subrange of the first scale subrange, the controller being configured to:
select, among the plurality of scale subranges, one scale subrange in which an analog environmental measurement is to be performed,
select an offset information and a gain information which are associated with the selected scale subrange and which are indicative of an offset and a gain, respectively, to be applied by the analog circuitry to perform an analog environmental measurement in the selected scale subrange; and
provide the offset information and the gain information to the analog circuitry.
