You then need to run the pressure and flow test on the side (off the bench). With the data that you collect, you can translate your benchmark results to dP instead of flow (or vice versa).
To much of a pain in the ass. Now you have to unplumb the flow meter and pump, plumb it into the manometer, unplumb it and plumb it back into the test bench. Or buy another pump an flowmeter that would cost more than a digital manometer like Robo uses.

Anyway the options are there.
