DataMate Guidebook

6. DataMate acts as a meter on the Main screen, and the screen updates every

three seconds. The pH is displayed in the upper right-hand corner.

7. Remove the pH Sensor from the sensor storage solution bottle by

unscrewing the lid. Carefully remove the bottle, leaving the cap on the
sensor body. Rinse the tip of the sensor with distilled water and place the
sensor tip into a beaker containing sensor soaking solution.

8. Take the pH measurement of your different liquids. Watch the readings in

the corner change. Between measurements, rinse the sensor with distilled
water. Switch the liquids and write down the readings. Note that
DataMate does not record data in Monitor mode. Although this tutorial
does not have you use the function, by selecting

START

you could collect

pH vs. time data.

When you are done, rinse the sensor with distilled water and return it to the sensor
soaking solution. Select

QUIT

and exit the DataMate program.
