Page 51
Chapter 4 Method Parameters Start delay time/Extraction time (KF): With dead-stop titration, the start wait time passes at the beginning of titration. In KF titration, the start wait time = the extraction time. The extraction time ends after the sample is supplied. The start wait/extraction time can be specified between 0 and 999 seconds.
Page 52
Chapter 4 Method Parameters Fig. 91 In this type of titration, linear step width is used after the continuous titration stage. Titration direction (only dead stop titration mode) The titration direction can be set to “increase“ or “decrease“. For instance, if you wish to perform a sulfurous titration with iodine solution you have to select “increase“.
