If you have a radalt (whether part of the EFIS or a separate analogue indicator) on which you can simultaneously display a radalt minimum, then you can of course set the equivalent value from the chart (or better, something like 50 feet below for non-precision or 20 feet below for precision, to account for uneven terrain on the final approach track
.
That technique is an accident waiting to happen, and as my previous company found out the CAA are not too impressed if operators use radalt callouts for baro based minima.
