The Correct Blanks form displays all rejected batch loads of RB type data.
Blank data is the record of the pre-use value for filters or other similar components used in monitors. The "tare" value is another term that is used to describe this value.
The method, unit and duration used to determine the blank value does not have to be the same as the protocol used by the monitor to report pollutant values.
