1.4 Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition function enables
z operation of a sensor with different meters without recalibration
z operation of different sensors with a meter without recalibration
z to assign measurement data to a sensor
– measurement datasets are always downloaded to the interface
along with the sensor type and sensor series number
z to assign calibration data to a sensor
– calibration data is always downloaded to the interface along with
the sensor type and sensor series number
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition function, you need
a meter that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g. Lab 870)
and a sensor (ID sensor) that is suitable for sensor recognition.
In ID sensors, sensor data is stored that clearly identifies the sensor.
The sensor data is automatically transmitted to the meter by radio and
used for sensor identification there.
Note
You can also operate non-ID sensors with the Lab 870 meter. In this
case, however, you will not be able to use the advantages of the sensor
recognition function.
