Airspeed sensor

I have the Airspeed Kit with MPXV7002DP.  I have the dual tube setup, one pitot and one static.  Which port on the sensor is pitot and which is static?  It talks about it in setup but I do not have the single tube system.

Thanx

    The pitot dynamic tube will be open on the end, the static tube will be closed and will have or or more holes on the side of the tube. 

     

    The static tube seeks to allow air pressure of the surrounding air.

    The dynamic tube seeks to allow the forward speed to increase the pressure in the tube. 

    By measuring the difference, air flow can be measured, which is presumed to be forward airspeed.

    I hope this helps you determined, irrespective of which type of tubes you might have.

    I've updated the manual to make this more clear.
