Quality Assessment
Depth given is approximate, pressures are relative. Long-term drift has been satisfactorily removed from all data channels.
Contributors recommend use of either pressure channel 2 or pressure channel 3. Pressure channel 1 is very temperature sensitive and therefore least accurate.
