Reading
Mode Sets the reading mode to single, continuous or RST mode. Single (default) —The
measurement stops when the reading is stable. Continuous —The measurement continues
until the user pushes Done . RST —The Rapidly Settling Turbidity (RST) mode calculates and
continuously updates the turbidity reading of the sample to a confidence of 95%, based on the
accumulated trend of the real time measured values. The RST mode is best used on samples
that settle rapidly and continuously change in value. The reading is based on a correctly
prepared sample that is homogeneous at the beginning of the reading. It is best applied to
samples that are greater than 20 NTU. The sample must be mixed thoroughly by inversion
immediately before inserting it into the instrument.
Signal Avg —The turbidity reading that
shows on the display is an average of the values measured during the time interval selected.
Options: For single measurement mode, 5 to 15 seconds. For continuous measurement mode,
5 to 90 seconds.
Unit Selects the measurement units that show on the display and that are recorded to the data log.
