I agree it's more of a workaround because there can be situations
where measured value is far from calibrated. In my setup it
helps but I haven't yet tested what happens in the noisy environment.

Do you know a better way to fix this? I am not so deep into calibration
tasks but I have a working setup so I could spend more time on that.
