9.1.2 Measuring the temperature
For reproducible conductivity measurements, it is essential to measure the
temperature of the test sample.
IDS sensors measure the temperature with a temperature sensor integrated in
the IDS sensor.
9.2 Temperature compensation
The calculation of the temperature compensation is based on the preset refer-
ence temperature, 20 °C or 25 °C. It appears on the display as Tr20 or Tr25.
You can select one of the following temperature compensation methods:

Nonlinear temperature compensation (nLF) according to ISO 7888
 Linear temperature compensation (lin) with adjustable coefficients of
0.000 ... 3.000 %
/
K
 No temperature compensation (off)
Application tips Select the following temperature compensations given in the table according to
the respective test sample:
The reference temperature and temperature compensation are set
in the menu for the parameter, conductivity (see section 10.5.1 S
