Carl,

Corrected numbers means that the computer takes the 
information that the dyno gives it along with 
weather/temp/barometer info and corrects it to a known 
standard.

When comparing results from different days, and locations, 
if you use the corrected numbers from a Dynojet, you can be 
fairly sure that they are going to be consistent.  Not 100% 
perfect, but VERY close.

I used to own a Dynojet, and at one point was going to be 
the installation/training person for Dynojet, but we just 
could not get together on details.  I have helped a few 
shops set theirs up.

They need a wet/dry bulb device to measure humidity and 
along with the other devices on the dyno, they will do fine.

If they gave you a disk with your numbers on it, you can 
download a small program to let you look at your own chart. 
  Within this program (and they main one they have) there 
are options so you can quickly change from actual to 
corrected numbers.  Sometimes the corrected numbers are 
lower than actual, sometimes higher.
