Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition function enables
z to operate a sensor with different meters without recalibrating
z to operate different sensors with one meter without recalibrating
z to assign measurement data to a sensor
– measurement datasets are always downloaded to the interface
with the sensor type and sensor series number.
– measurement datasets are always stored together with the sen-
sor type and sensor series number.
z to assign calibration data to a sensor
– calibration data is always downloaded to the interface with the
sensor type and sensor series number.
z the automatic activation of the cell constants for conductivity sen-
sors
z to hide menus that are not relevant for this sensor
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition function a meter is
required that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g.
ProLab 4000), and a sensor (ID sensor) that is suitable for sensor rec-
ognition.
In every ID sensor, sensor data is stored that clearly identifies the sen-
sor.
The sensor data is sent to the meter automatically via radio commu-
nication and used for sensor identification there.

Note
With the ProLab 4000 you can also operate non ID sensors. Then,
however, you cannot use the advantages of the sensor recognition
function.
