10.2.7 Selecting and adjusting the nonlinear
temperature compensation
TC nLin1
The nonlinear temperature compensation is carried out according to
the following equation:
The equation includes two temperature coefficients, TC
1
and TC
2
. In
the ProLab 4000 meter, the temperature coefficients TC
1
and TC
2
are
stored for the following test samples:
Suitable temperature coefficients TC
1
and TC
2
for solutions that are not
mentioned here can be taken from tables found in further reading and
then entered in the meter.
