Do a Pressure Source Test
The pressure source test is used to pressurize a pneumatic system while it
measures the pressure. You can use the pressure source test for static
calibration of non-invasive blood pressure measurement systems,
sphygmomanometer checks, and other devices that measure pressure.
To do a pressure source test:
1. Connect the pressure port to pressure system as shown in Figure 40.
