[Dsg-ft] nitrogen purge and humidity

[Raffaella De Vita]

Hi Amanda,
this is in general the behavior we were expecting. In terms of values, 
we were typically getting humidity of the order of 20% so I would say we 
are in the right range. We were not expecting to obtain different values 
from the two sensors but I'm not sure if we are yet using the right 
calibration curves. It is also possible that one of the two sensors 
(sensor 1) is closer to the nitrogen inlet and sense a dryer 
environment. I will try to verify this and get back to you asap.
Thanks a lot for helping us in this test.
Best regards,
     Raffaella
