Claim 15:
16. A method for providing digital measurements from analog environmental measurements acquired by analog circuitry, the digital measurements lying in a global scale range or wide scale range, wherein the global scale range or wide scale range is subjected to a subdivision into a plurality of scale subranges which are proper subranges of the global scale range or wide scale range, wherein the scale subranges are such that one first scale subrange is different from one second scale subrange and 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 method comprising:
selecting, among the plurality of scale subranges, one scale subrange in which at least one second analog environmental measurement value is to be acquired,
selecting an offset information and a gain information which are associated with the selected scale subrange and which describe an offset and a gain, respectively, to be applied by the analog circuitry to perform a second analog environmental measurement in the selected scale subrange; and
providing the offset information and the gain information to the analog circuitry.
