4.1.4 Automatic, Single- and Two-Point Calibration (pH Only)
Sensor A: Buffer Method (pH probes only)
Select the type of automatic calibration required:
Auto 1-Pt
- Automatic, single-point calibration
Auto 2-Pt
- Automatic, two-point calibration
Calibrate Buffer
(Single-Point Calibration)
or Calibrate Buffer 1
(Two-Point Calibration)
Immerse Sensor A in the buffer solution.
Press the
key to initiate calibration.
Note.
To abort calibration, press the
key again at any time before calibration is
complete - see below.
The center display line shows the measured sensor output in millivolts.
As calibration procedes, a progress indicator appears in the lower display line. When
the measured sensor output stabilizes, the lower display line shows
##### 100% #####
.
The display then changes for 2 seconds to show the temperature-corrected buffer
value in the upper display line, then advances automatically to the next frame.
Two-point calibration selected - continued on next page.
Single-point calibration selected - continued on next page.
Abort Calibration
Select Yes or No.
Yes
selected - return to the main menu.
No
selected - calibration continues.
