4. Change [Settings] for gauge operating parameters
Tapping [Settings] from the Home screen will bring up a menu that lists gauge settings. There are three
“Settings” screens, each displaying a number of gauge operating parameters that can be changed .
Figure 34: [Settings] can be changed on the gauge, and are remembered when the gauge is turned back on
More specifically, the [Settings] allows a user to:
•
acquire and apply bias pressure correction by tapping
[Baseline]

[Capture Baseline]
•
enter the conditioned [Area] or [Volume] (sometimes needed by “Result to be displayed”)
•
enter the number of seconds for
[Time averaging]
•
change the type of, and units for, the “ Result to be displayed ”
•
tap
[Network]
, then tap [Status] to toggle connection types and edit network credentials
•
set a [Default @ Pressure] for Result extrapolation when [Set Speed] is used
•
select the inactivity time (15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2h, Off), after which the gauge powers itself down,
[Power down time]
. The gauge will not power itself do wn if “Off” is chosen.
•
enable or disable [Sound] feedback upon key press
•
set an appropriate “n” value, a slope for result extrapolation, with [Ducts=0.6, House=0.65]
•
update gauge firmware by tapping
[Firmware]

[Update Firmware]
(requires the DM32
Configurator software – refer to section 6)
•
Reset touchscreen sensitivity with
[Re-calibrate touchscreen]

4.1 Capture [Baseline] Pressure
Measure and remove bias/Baseline pressures due to wind or stack that are present before test pressures
are applied. The captured Baseline is subtracted from the pressure reading on
[Channel A] .
1. Tap [Capture Baseline] to begin sampling
2. Tap [End Capture] after 30 to 60 seconds. The displayed Baseline pressure is now subtracted from
all future readings on [Channel A]
