mV, Relative mV and ORP Measurement
Note:
Turn on the automatic datalog feature to send measurements to the meter
datalog at the frequency specified in each measurement mode. Refer to the Data
Archiving and Retrieval section for details. If the automatic datalog feature is off,
connect the meter to a printer or computer to record the measurements.
1. Rinse the electrode with distilled or deionized water. Shake off any excess
water and blot the electrode dry with lint-free tissue.
2. Place the electrode into the sample.
a. If the meter is in the continuous measurement mode, it will start reading
