Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. An environmental sensor for providing digital measurement values of environmental magnitudes, comprising:
an analog circuitry, configured to provide analog environmental measurement values of environmental magnitudes obtained through measurements performed at least in one of the plurality of scale subranges;
an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, unit, configured to convert the analog environmental measurement values onto digital versions of the analog environmental measurement values;
a controller according to any of the preceding claims, configured to:
select, among the plurality of scale subranges, the one scale subrange in which the at least one analog environmental measurement is to be performed,
select the offset information and the gain information which are associated with the selected scale subrange and which describe the offset and the gain, respectively, to be applied by the analog circuitry to perform the at least one second analog environmental measurement in the selected scale subrange; and
provide the offset information and the gain information to the analog circuitry,
so that the analog circuitry applies the offset and the gain to the second analog environmental measurement in the selected scale subrange, so as to obtain at least one analog environmental measurement value lying in the selected scale subrange and a digital version of the at least one analog environmental measurement value lying in the selected scale subrange.
