A process transmitter includes an isolation unit, a process sensor, a compensation circuit, and an output circuit. The isolation unit is configured to engage a process and includes a medium. The process sensor is configured to produce a process signal that is a function of a parameter of the process that is communicated through the medium. The compensation circuit is configured to compensate the process signal for a response time of the isolation unit, and output a compensated process signal. The output circuit is configured to produce a transmitter output as a function of the compensated process signal.
