Re: WPS500 strange noise

Hi Victor, One thing we could recommend is just before you turn the pressure transducer on to run through its self calibration, is to open the bleed port.

Re: waveform library trial ?

Hi STC,

It is indeed a constant worry but there must be a solution and if James Dillon has managed to create a solution then maybe this is a route we can look into.

Hello DebbieSidera, Thank you for your post and it's great to see this beautiful car still going strong! I think initially lets sort out the issue you have with the inverted capture you are seeing. This is a relatively easy fix and all it requires is a change to the probe you are selecting. I have a...
