Buffer solutions
As buffer solutions can have very different compositions it is necessary to

give the correct buffer type so that the temperature correction is correctly

used for the calibration.

Select a buffer type or manufacturer. Insert a buffer series into the buffer

table by pressing the [Preset series] softkey or [Add series].

Calibration is also possible without a predefined buffer list. The buffer (type

and value) can be entered individually. Different types of buffer can also be

used. If your type of buffer is not contained in the selection list then select

'none'.

Enter the nominal value of your buffer solution in the line

Buffer 1 pH

and start a measurement with the [Start Stop] softkey.

During the calibration the values found are compared with the predefined

values of the buffer solutions (theoretical value, temperature with automatic

temperature measurement) and subjected to a plausibility test, see page

117. If this should cause annoying error messages with 'exotic’ buffers or

'unusual’ sensors then select buffer type 'custom' for user-defined buffer
types. No plausibility tests are carried out in this setting.

After each buffer solution measurement the calibration values are entered in

the buffer table.

The buffer table includes the following data:

buffer type or manufacturer

nominal pH

buffer temperature

(temperature)-corrected effective pH

measured potential in mV

When a measurement has been completed the next buffer solution can be

entered and measured.

After at least two measurements have been made the calibration curve can

be displayed by pressing the [Show curve] softkey. The corresponding
values for the slope and the asymmetry pH (pH

as

) are shown together with

the calibration curve.
