Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the
measured parameter) of the electrode is the electrical potential. The
electrical current remains constant.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be
displayed by a meter.
Slope The slope of a linear calibration function.
Stability control Name for a function to check the stability of the measured value.
Standard solution The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is
known by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system.
Test sample Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test
sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample
and original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed.
Zero point Designation for the offset potential of a pH electrode. It is the
measurable potential of a symmetrical electrode, the membrane of
which is immersed in a solution with the pH of the nominal electrode
zero point (pH = 7).
