How do I tare a pressure transducer?

[Danielle]

I am currently working on a project to test the pressure within a very small blood pressure cuff. Other than calibrating the LabVIEW program is there an easier method to null the offset that occurs?

If you really want to tare the reading, take a measurement at the known "zero" point and store it in your application on a shift register. Subtract that measurement from all your future measurements until someone hits the "TARE" button. When you updte the tare value, use the raw measurement and store that. I suppose you might call that "calibrating" the program, but it is the only way I would suggest you do it.

this little vi is what i use to reset angle reading to zero.  hope this helps,

Please don't post VI's that are set to Run when opened. My heart skips a beat everytime that happens and wonder what kind of nasty things the program might be doing to my pc.
