How to detect if the device has BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER

Hello,

I am building a Garmin App for running and I would like to execute specific code for devices with BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER. Is there a way to test in my code if the current running device has this sensor ?
In the simulator the following code returns a value for the f245 but it should not have a barometric sensor.

var status = Sensor.getInfo();
System.println("pressure: "+ status.pressure); 
// output: pressure: 61312.875000

I check for floors. They are only available on devices with a baro:

System.println("p="+Toybox.ActivityMonitor.Info has :floorsClimbed);

And you can use it in watch faces

It works!

You can also use a "has" for getPressureHistory in SensorHistory.

and again, use that in watch faces.
