6 Methods / Parameters
The exact measuring method of the pH meter is described by parame-
ters which, like the instrument configuration, are arranged in a tree
structure in the menu display. The complete tree is shown in the ap-
pendix (see Section 9.2) to provide a better overview.
The parameters are set analogous to the instrument configuration. No
parameters are available for the measuring modes U (mV) and T (°C).
The menu << param >> is therefore not visible in these modes.
This means that one of the following subsections, together with the in-
strument configuration, forms a complete description of all the settings
which are important for the operation of the pH meter in a particular
measuring mode.

The measuring parameters describe the settings which are of direct
importance for the measurement.
temp.: -999.9...25.0...999.9 °C
If no temperature sensor is connected, you can enter the temperature
of the sample solution here. Otherwise the temperature is measured
continuously and this value will be ignored. In case that the measuring
and calibration temperatures are different, then it is necessary to record
the temperature for the automatic correction of the electrode slope
(temperature compensation). Information about the measuring temper-
ature is also absolutely necessary for the complete documentation of a
pH value. In the report printout of the measured value this manually de-
termined temperature is indicated by the suffix 'man.'.
