Tare
Using the Tare function improves your
differential measurement uncertainty
significantly if used properly. The Tare function equalizes (normalizes) the nVi-
sion’s two modules at a non-ambient datum. The Tare reading displays the same units as the main ΔP or ΔT reading.
If you apply the same static line pressure, temperature, or resistance signal to both sensors simultaneously, you should have a differential reading of zero. Due
to the allowable error tolerance for each module, the reading may not be zero. The Tare function allows you to normalize both readings so that the differential
reading is zero. This gives you a more accurate differential reading than if this process were not completed.
Note:
Tare should be reestablished every time your measurement conditions change, including vent condition. For instance if your ΔP reading has 8 inH20 of
Tare at 1500 psi static, when you return to vent condition this 8 inH20 of Tare will remain in place on your ΔP reading until cleared with the Tare button.
To Tare:
1
Use the
(

button to select the Differential Mode Numerical Screen.
2
Press the
(

button until the display flashes dashed lines (- - - - -).
3
To clear the Tare value in the Differential Mode, hold the button for 3 seconds until the main display readings change from (- - - - -) to (- - -).
RUN TAGS
Run Tags are 22 character identifiers you can enter to name each data run. They are enabled by selecting the Enable Run Tags checkbox.
The Run Tags you choose will display in CrystalControl's DataViewer and your downloaded data.
To use Run Tags:
1
Press
(
