    The average of the ultrasonic temperature is used to calculate the humidity from the dew point. An issue seen during testing occurred when the TriSonica Mini was removed from a warm 90% humidity environment to a cooler 30% environment. The quick change caused condensation inside the unit and it displayed humidity greater than 100% until the condensation evaporated and equalized through the vent.
