Zero: The PR-8V is zeroed in much the same way that a mechanical micrometer is
zeroed. If the PR-8V is not zeroed correctly, all of the measurements made using the
PR-8V may be in error by some fixed value. Refer to the section on page 32, for an
explanation of this important procedure.
Type: Enables the user to select the type of transducer being used from a chart of
transducer types. This provides increased linearity between transducers. Refer to
page 28 for a further explanation.
Gain: Increases or decreases the overall amplitude of the signal. Much like turning
the volume up or down on a stereo receiver. Refer to page 51 for further info.
