11) Note the digits that are displayed. Record the VW reading, barometric pressure, and
temperature. This is what is known as the "initial zero" reading. The "initial zero" reading
will be used in future calculations. For example, the VW zero reading will be the R
the pressure calculations equation: P = (R
Reading" and GF is the Gage Factor obtained from the calibration report for the sensor being
measured. See Appendix D for further information on Data Reduction.
12) Click "Exit" (or press the "Alt" and "e" keys) to return to the Setup Screen.
After setup is complete, the PC is disconnected from the 8020-59 and the sensor is in a
pressurized state, the "Current Reading" (R
read from the analog voltage (V OUT, in volts) or current (I-OUT, in milliamperes) output. See
Section 4.3 for more information on how to convert from an analog voltage or current value into
digits. Once a "Digits" value has been obtained, translation into other engineering units is
accomplished by multiplying the "Digits" value by the Gage Factor for the particular sensor
read.
