1.2.2 IDS adapter for analog sensors
With the aid of an IDS adapter, you can also operate analog sensors
on the MultiLab 4010-3. The combination of the IDS adapter and analog sensor
behaves like an IDS sensor.
The MultiLab 4010-3 has a recess where the IDS adapter (ADA 94/IDS DIN or
ADA 94/IDS BNC), which is available as an accessory, can be permanently
mounted.
The IDS adapter replaces a digital input (channel 2) with a connector for an
analog pH/ U/ISE sensor (DIN or BNC plug) and a temperature sensor.
1.2.3 Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows

to operate an IDS sensor with different meters without recalibrating
 to operate different IDS sensors at one meter without recalibration
 to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the sensor
name and sensor series number.
 to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor
– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and output with
the sensor name and sensor series number.
 to activate the correct cell constant for conductivity sensors automatically
 to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the
automatic sensor recognition (e.g. MultiLab 4010-3) and a digital IDS sensor
are required.
In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.
The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.
