Note
The buffer set is selected in the menu for measurement settings (see
page 46).
A list of the stored buffer sets can be downloaded to the interface (Set
1 ... 16) with

measurement settings.
Calibration points
Calibration can be performed using one to five buffer solutions in any
order (single-point to five-point calibration). The meter determines the
following values and calculates the calibration line as follows:
Note
You can display the slope in the units, mV/pH or %.
You can display the zero point in the units, mV or pH.
AutoCal
is adapted to the permanently programmed buffer solutions as a fully
automatic calibration. The buffer solutions are automatically
recognized by the meter.
Stability control
The calibration procedure automatically activates the stability control
function.
The current measurement with stability control can be terminated at
any time (accepting the current value) by pressing
Calibration record
When finishing a calibration, the new calibration values are first
displayed as an informative message and stored. )
