At present, sander does not support non-isotropic pressure scaling (i.e.,
NTP=2 is not supported). If your system is a box of water, isotropic
pressure scaling should be used since only isotropic pressure makes
physical sense in water (i.e., pressure of sea water depends on the depth
of water, not the orientation of your probe).
Hope this helps.
