Hi:
I am trying to use the BMP388 for basic weather info. I am using the forced mode for starting measurements and get a 16-bit result as expected. But what is the temp measurement range so I can scale to a meaningful number? At this point I am not concerned with high accuracy, I just want to get ballpark numbers then go from there. I am using a PIC mpu so my program area is very limited and will have to avoid all the floating point libraries.
Thanks!

The specifications are incomplete: the datasheet reports some formulas (and yes there is a bit more info to reverse engineer from in the reference code) but i expect a datasheet to report the exact range of the pressure, temperature and timestamp raw binary values.
Also the datasheet says the timestamp is 24 bits in the text, but there are 4 8-bit registers in the map. what are the units?
Could someone from Bosch please give a formal definition of the register values OR of the outcome of the computations in appendix 9 p55 of the BMP388 data sheet?
