A shorter fill time may be used when the same sample is being measured
again and again.
Select the measurement time
The measurement time is the time interval that the instrument measures
the sample.
A measurement is completed and the display is updated about once
every second.
Set the measurement time from 0 to 99 minutes and 99 seconds
(minimum=15 seconds).
A measurement time of 0 provides continuous measurement until FLOW
is pushed.
Note: A measurement time of 0 is not recommended for static mode because
particles in the sample may settle over time. The measured turbidity may be lower
than the actual turbidity.
