I don't' think that's correct... Not assumptions. 
The instrument does calculations based on scientific laws and uses what 
measured variables it does
have to calculate different units... For example, Relative humidity is 
calculated from Absolute
humidity and temperature and pressure. The instrument, if it has the right 
probe, is measuring
atmospheric pressure, temperature and at least 3 or 4 other variables.  It then 
provides the
convenience of displaying other units, like mixing ratio, based on the actual 
measured variables and
specific scientific laws (mathematical equations).  I have never seen an 
instrument that bases the
display of other units on assumptions. I certainly wouldn't buy one!
