It's just one person's example of one end of the operating range. He presents a graph and then labels one axis "MPS response" without explaining or speculating about what kind of response that might be. To be useful, that axis needs some units. He talks about in of Hg, but he doesn't mention what he thinks the "response" is. Is it volts, Henrys, whatever? To be fair, I don't know what kind of response it might be either. One of these days I'll set up a test and figure it out, but I haven't done it yet. When I do, I should be able to recalibrate pressure sensors, but at this point that's just a daydream. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
