RIA46 Commissioning Differential pressure application A concise setup is available for differential pressure applications. Once the differential pressure application setup has been completed successfully, the difference between the two inputs is automatically calculated and the signal linearized using the configured parameters of the analog inputs and the linearization points. As a result, the volume is already shown on the display (= calculated value 2).
