Oxi 197i Operation 4.2.2 Measuring the D. O. concentration Note When measuring the concentration of test samples with a salt content of more than 1 g/l, a salinity correction is required. For this, you have to measure and input the salinity of the measured medium first. This is de- scribed in section 4.3.3 on page 27.
Operation Oxi 197i 4.2.3 Measuring the D. O. saturation You can measure the D. O. saturation as follows: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.1 Immerse the D. O. sensor in the test sample. Press the <M> key repeatedly until the saturation in % appears on the display.
Oxi 197i Operation 4.2.5 AutoRead AR (drift control) and hold function The AutoRead function (drift control) checks the stability of the mea- surement signal. The stability has a considerable impact on the repro- ducibility of the measured values. With the aid of the hold function the measured value display is frozen.
Operation Oxi 197i To terminate the AutoRead function: Press the <AR> key. 4.2.6 Sensor with stirrer (StirrOx G) Connection Connect the 2-pole stirrer plug to the stirrer output of the measuring in- strument (designation REL1).

AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range. AutoRead WTW name for a function to check the stability of the measured value. Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Of- ten, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjust- ed at the same time (see adjusting).
