Logarithmic Curve
Nonlinear output current characteristic: allows measurements over several decades,
e.g. measuring very low values with a high resolution and high values with a low
resolution.
Parameters required: Start and end value
Possible start and end values
The start value must be at least one decade lower than the end value.
Start value and end value must be specified in the same units
(either in µS/cm or in S/m, see listing):
0.001 mS/cm 0.001 S/m
0.01 mS/cm 0.01 S/m
0.1 mS/m 0.1 S/m
1.0 S/m
10.0 S/m
100 S/m
The start value
is the next decade value below the lowest measured value.
The end value
is the next decade value above the highest measured value.
The number of decades results from:
Number of decades = log (end value) – log (start value)
The output current value is defined as follows:
Output current =
log(measured value) – log(start value)
