Hello V Sridharan

You can clearly understand the difference between Pressure, Total Pressure and Absolute Pressure from this page in the AIM Documentations.

I would recommend looking into this page as well.

I hope this answers your query.

Hello V Sridharan

You should be able to access the documentation. Please launch AIM and press F1 to access the same. 

Nevertheless, here are images of the pages I had shared before.
