4. From the HOME screen, select STATUS, MORE, ADDITIONAL
STATUS. Observe the Flow Constant value. This is the aerosol
sample flow for the installed orifice.
5. Verify that the measured flow corresponds with the observed
Flow Constant within ±5%, and also add in any uncertainty in
the flow measurement resulting from errors in the accuracy of
your flow meter. If the measured flow still does not compare
with the Flow Constant when the tolerance errors are
considered, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this chapter.
