Range

0.1 ... 1250.0 mV

Default value

70.0 mV

Selection

off

Max. rate

Rate at which iodine is generated outside the control range.

Range

1.5 ... 2241.0 µg/min

Selection

maximum

Default value

maximum

Min. rate

Rate at which iodine is generated at the very beginning of the titration
and in the control range at the end of the titration. This parameter has a
decisive influence on the titration rate and thus also on the accuracy. The
smaller the selected minimum rate, the slower the titration.

Range

0.3 ... 999.9 µg/min

Default value

15.0 µg/min

Stop criterion

Stop criterion

The titration is stopped when the endpoint has been reached and this
stop criterion has been fulfilled. If no stop criterion has been selected then
the titration will not be stopped. The stop conditions (see Chapter 2.1.3,
page 12)
always lead to a stop, even if the stop criterion has not been
reached.

Selection

drift | time | rel. drift | off

Default value

rel. drift

drift
The titration is stopped when the stop drift has been reached.
time
The titration is stopped when the endpoint has been exceeded during
a certain period of time (Delay time).
