Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
English term or phrase: bounce
Alternatively your rated amps in the software will need to be set to the maximum recorded amps.
The transducer is an instrument so try not to ***bounce*** this about.
If the transducer is not accurate according to the site pressure order another.

Merci:)
