Yeah, when I was working with Mike, he had a similar instrument, and we were measuring airflow from a duct opening. He measured at the edges and the center and various other places in between, and it was clear that the velocities were quite different across the opening. To get real volumetric accuracy, some averaging was needed.

The bag method takes care of those differences.

But if you only want to balance velocities, I suppose a center measure would do it.
