  • Page 20 Press the ALARM key to reset current value. Example: The calibrated pressure sources measure 25.00 inHg. The display console pressure reads 24.85 inHg. Offset = 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 inHg Note: The display console displays two different pressures: absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level). To compare pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct the pressure to sea-level conditions.
