Checking Barometric Pressure

Other pressures displayed on the Analyzer (e.g., Airway Pressure, differential pressures

as a basis for Flow, etc.) are relative to the internally-measured barometric pressure

(gauge pressure).
An internal sensor constantly measures barometric pressure. Other pressures displayed on

the Analyzer (e.g., airway pressure or differential pressure as a basis for flow) are relative

to the internally-measured barometric pressure (gauge pressure). You can fine-tune the

barometric pressure measurement by entering your own value. The Analyzer then factors

in the difference between the original measurement and your value as an offset correction

for subsequent measurements. The Analyzer stores the correction factor in non-volatile

memory to be remembered when you turn it off and then back on.
To enter a barometric pressure value, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the High-Pressure Adapter at the High-Pressure Port.
2. Press S Æ E to access the barometric pressure screen, shown below.
