Table 5 describes the options available in the Conductivity
Setup menu.
Temperature Correction Value — Allows selection of a linear
or non-linear temperature correction function. The non-linear
coefficient has been determined from measurements using
aqueous NaCl solutions; for most freshwater samples, this is the
best setting. If the linear function is chosen, the measured
conductivity values are automatically temperature-corrected
based on the specified temperature coefficient and the selected
