Since arterial pressure varies throughout the day, measurements intended to monitor changes over longer time frames should be taken at the same time of day to ensure that the readings are comparable. Suitable times are: * immediately after awakening (before washing/dressing and taking breakfast/drink), while the body is still resting, * immediately after finishing work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure#Home_monitoring

The ratchet on a screw gauge allows for consistent and controlled application of pressure when taking measurements. This feature ensures that the pressure applied to the object being measured is uniform, resulting in accurate and reliable readings.
Waiting a minute after increasing the pressure before taking the volume reading allows the system to reach a stable state. This delay ensures that any transient effects, such as temperature changes or gas expansion, have settled, providing a more accurate measurement. Additionally, it helps to minimize fluctuations in the pressure and volume readings, ensuring consistency and reliability in the results.
