4.2.2 Measuring the pH value
Setting the resolution
AutoRead AR
(drift control)
The AutoRead function (drift control) checks the stability of the mea-
surement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the repro-
ducibility of the measured values.
For identical measurement conditions, the following criteria apply:
1 Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.1.
2 Immerse the pH electrode in the test sample.
3 If required, enter the temperature of the test sample with <

4 Press the <
▲> <▼> keys until pH appears in the status display.
The pH value appears on the display.

2 Press the <M> key. The measured values are displayed with a
high resolution, e.g. pH = 4.012.
3 Press the <RUN/ENTER> and <M> key once more.
The measured values are displayed with a low resolution, e.g.
pH = 4.01.
