Getting userinput from serial monitor

Hello Everyone out there,

currently i m doing a fun project where the Motors Pump and Valv release pressure inorder to make desired pressure inside a system. At initial not making this complex. I had defined as float UserinputmmHg = 200; outside the setup and loop and the programs runs to make the desired pressure inside the system. For this i use I2C for pressure sensor.
Everythings works as long as the userinputmmHg given or defined at initial before uploading to arduino. Now the Problem started as long as i tried to give the desired pressure from serial monitor. I also tried only the sensor reading portion (I2C) as a function. Still didnt work . Is it possible to make this work by asking the user at initial the pressure and after entering the desired pressure the system creat that pressure and ask for the next pressure via serial monitor. Here is my code so far. You opinion would be very much appriciated. Thanks in advance.

#include "Wire.h"

#define HSCDRRN400MD2A3_I2C 0x28 // each I2C object has a unique bus address, the DS1307 is 0x68
#define OUTPUT_MIN 1640 // 1638 counts (10% of 2^14 counts or 0x0666)
#define OUTPUT_MAX 14715 // 14745 counts (90% of 2^14 counts or 0x3999)
#define PRESSURE_MIN 0 //-344.738 // min is 0 for sensors that give absolute values
#define PRESSURE_MAX 450.036 // 75541921
