  • Page 19: Measurement Basics

    PRO 921 / PRO 925 – Multifunction meters / loggers 7 Measurement basics The type of digital probe connected is automatically recognized by the instrument. The probe is factory calibrated and the calibration data are stored in the probe, which sends the meas- ured value directly to the instrument.
  • Page 20 PRO 921 / PRO 925 – Multifunction meters / loggers 7.3 Pressure measurement Depending on the probe connected, the instrument measures absolute, relative or differential pressure. Before detecting relative or differential pressures, verify the need to perform zeroing of the pressure measurement by leaving the probe inputs open.
