Changing the levels can be useful if the pressure conditions are constantly changing. The user can, for example, set the first pressure point to 25 PA (P0 = 5 x 5 Pa = 25 Pa) in particularly difficult, gusty conditions.
When the measurement is halted, the last values of the previous halted measurement are dis- played. If the Wöhler BC 600 does not switch to the next measuring step because the differential pressure is not sufficiently constant, it is possible to switch to the next step manually.
