Measuring device with self-test function

A method for performing a correction of a measurement result of a measuring device for process automation in an industrial or private environment, comprising the steps of:

• detecting one or more measured variables;
• detecting a temperature of a sensor circuit of the measuring device;
• determining a measurement result from the measured variable(s);
• determining a difference between the detected temperature and a reference temperature that was detected during a calibration of a self-test function of the measuring device;
• and
• performing a correction of the measurement result depending on the difference between the detected temperature and the reference temperature during the execution of the self-test function.

A nontransitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed on a control circuit of a measuring device, causes the measuring device to perform the following steps:

• detecting one or more measured variables,
• detecting a temperature of a sensor circuit of the measuring device,
• determining a measurement result from the measured variable(s),
• determining a difference between the detected temperature and a reference temperature that was detected during a calibration of a self-test function of the measuring device, and
• performing a correction of the measurement result depending on the difference between the detected temperature and the reference temperature during the execution of the self-test function.
