NOTE: Use this worksheet to record your data. Record numeric values and their units.

START OF EXP. Resolution The measured voltages in this experiment vary from 0.02V during some measurements to over 2V for others. If you change the voltage resolution of the DAQ board
Air Temperature degF 70 1 with the software interface, don’t forget to change it back, when the voltage exceeds your selected range. You can tell, that you have bad data, when you don't see
any noise on the display of your measurement data ( the board has saturated at the max. voltage)
Atm Pressure [in Hg] 29.24 0.02
Rel Humidity [%] 51 1 Handle the P-S tubes with care, twist them to get them in and out of the duct ports. Don't yank or pull the P-S tubes straight up.
