12.2 General information
Specialist term Description
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant
value (e. g. the displayed value) differs as little as pos-
sible from the correct value or a value that is regarded
as correct, or that the difference remains within the
tolerance.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring
range.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g.
the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that
is regarded as correct. Often, this expression is also
used when the measuring system is adjusted at the
same time (see adjusting).
Measured param-
eter The measured parameter is the physical dimension
determined by measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or
D.O. concentration.
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured
parameter to be determined. It is given as a combina-
tion of the numerical value and unit (e. g. 3 m; 0.5 s;
5.2 A; 373.15 K).
Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved sub-
stance in 1000 g solvent.
Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depend-
ing on the measured parameter) of the electrode is the
electrical potential. The electrical current remains con-
stant.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a mea-
suring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that
can be displayed by a meter.
Stability control
(AutoRead ) Function to control the measured value stability.
