The 

Interval

  property describes the measurement interval in seconds; the Optode provides a set of 

measured data for every measurement interval.  

The 

Salinity

  property is set to 0 at the factory and the measurements must be post processed to 

compensate for the salinity variations at the measurement site. If the salinity is known at the site  and 

relatively stable, you can set the Salinity property according to the known value and the measurements 

will be salinity compensated inside the sensor before presentation (useful for Real-Time measurements).
