We all know how grouchy and ugly Glen can be sometimes... I would need the
data everytime I take a reading for my coefficient of friction testing. That
may be once per hour. And I don't know it the system in use gives
uncorrected data or not. I want absolute pressure in psia and temp in deg f.
If it can do that and I can be assured of getting the data then I would be
thrilled. But one misstep and not getting the info means that that set of
data points may be unreliable. But, I'll check. There is a fair continguency
of folk who are racers who do not care for the things I do. So I could see
some resistance in this. But maybe not.
mayf, the wannabie...maybe some day..
