1. INTRODUCTION 1.2.2 PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS 1.2.2.1 QUARTZ REFERENCE PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS (Q-RPT) RPM4 A70M/A20M is configured with two quartz reference pressure transducers (Q-RPT) modules to measure pressure. The Q-RPTs can measure absolute and gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is defined by offsetting atmospheric pressure and applying dynamic compensation for atmospheric changes using the on-board barometer (see Section 3.2.2). Warm Up Time 30 minute temperature stabiliz
