pH Endpoint Set Up
All measurements made with electrochemical sensors are subject to a response time
for the sensor to equilibrate to the sample conditions and while the temperature
sensor compensates for temperature differences between samples and ambient
conditions. This response time will vary dependant on the sample, sensor(s) and
measurement conditions, a special algorithm can automatically determine when the
reading has reached a stable condition and the endpoint is reached. The Endpoint
icon will then be displayed and an optional audible alarm can be enabled. The period
over which the instrument looks for stability can be adjusted for special applications
where slow changes, reaction rates and special probe types are used.
