 process signals in the sensor digitally so that precise and interference-free
measurements are enabled even with long cables
 facilitate to assign a sensor to a measured parameter with differently colored
couplings
 have quick-lock couplings with which to fix the sensors to the meter.
Sensor data from
IDS sensors
IDS sensors transmit the following sensor data to the meter:
 SENSOR ID
– Sensor name
– Sensor series number
 Calibration data
– Calibration date
– Calibration characteristics
– Calibration interval
– Selected buffer set (IDS pH sensors only)
– Calibration history of the last 10 calibrations
The calibration data are updated in the IDS sensor after each calibration pro-
cedure. A message is displayed while the data are being updated in the sensor.
1.2.2 Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows

to operate an IDS sensor with different meters without recalibrating
 to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the sensor
name and sensor series number.
 to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor
– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and output with
the sensor name and sensor series number.
 to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the
automatic sensor recognition (e.g. HandyLab 600) and a digital IDS sensor are
required.
In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.
The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.
Note
In the measured value display, you can display the sensor name and
series number of the selected sensor with the [Info] softkey. You can
then display all further sensor data stored in the sensor with the [More]
softkey.
