Please note that the unit of the measured value is not altered in this cal-
culation. The Meas. value(new) will therefore always have the same unit
as Meas. value (old), i.e. the unit which has been set under
PARAMETER
CONC/ion parameters
and with which the calibration has been carried
out.
For example, if you use the
smpl.size unit: mL
, then the quotient
V
total
/smpl.size will represent the dilution of the sample when it is larger
than one. It can also describe the concentration of a sample if it is
smaller then one.
You can also weight out your liquid sample before dilution and then se-
lect the sample size unit g. For a correct calculation the density of the
sample in g/mL should be entered as the factor.
For a more individual input of the sample data you can also have the
program automatically request the sample size and sample size unit di-
rectly before each measurement (see Preselections, Section 6.5.9 and
6.5.5

In the direct measurement of the concentration the calibration parame-
ters primarily describe the exact presentation of the calibration stand-
ards. The evaluation of the calibration is described in Section 9.2.2.
temperature
0.0...25.0...99.9 °C
Just as for the measuring temperature, the calibration temperature
should be entered if no temperature sensor is connected. If the measur-
ing and calibration temperatures are different then this is absolutely
necessary for the automatic temperature correction of the electrode
slope. The temperature is then stored and indicated by the suffix '
man-
ual
' in the report header.
