the new temperature on the basis of the Nernst equation.

Automatic Temperature Compensation
When the temperature of the solution being measured is changing it is
necessary to perform automatic temperature compensation (ATC).
Using the Temperature amplifier of the pH/mV Amp, or a temperature
signal from a third party temperature measurement device, the
temperature signal can be recorded on a second e-corder channel.
When the Automatic option is chosen, the pH extension will use
temperature data from one of the Chart channels to correct the pH
channel for variations in temperature. To choose the automatic
temperature compensation option click in the radio button next to the
Automatic option. The channel selection pop-up menu can select the
channel on which temperature was recorded.
Recording Temperature
To use a temperature channel for ATC, the channel must first be
appropriately calibrated, using the Units Conversion feature, with units
of °C, °F, or K. If you have not calibrated the temperature channel an
alert will appear,

, because the pH extension needs to know
these units in order to apply the Nernst equation.
