PM temp correction.

All of them.

But that does NOT mean the Power Meter measures degrees Fahrenheit.

Example.
The Gridiron Pendulum used in precision clocks, corrects for the expansion of the metal with temperature.
Yet does not require you to know the type of metal, it's rate of expansion with temperature or even the current temperature!
