METHODS

The imposed current can be set from -100 µA to 100 µA with 1 µA resolution.

5.5.11 Calculations

The titrator will make certain calculations in order to obtain the result of the analysis. The

result is computed starting from the end point volume (titrant volume at the equivalence

point), using a formula set by the user.

5.5.11.1 Standard Titrations

Edit Variable Values

This option allows the user to change the values of the variables used in a previously selected

calculation.

For each formula, selected variables can be changed.

No Formula (mL only)

If this option is selected, only delivered milliliters (mL) are displayed.
