SOUR OPERATION

The SOUR (Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate) Setup screen present offers options to control the operating
parameters of the meter. The meter is factory set with regard to these options, and is ready for use under
most circumstances. The SOUR setup screens are virtually identical to the DO setup screens with
exceptions noted. The previous section on the DO Setup will guide you through the various options
available in the SOUR setup mode. The main difference is that SOUR offers a configuration to edit n the
setup mode:
The SOUR screen allows you configure the SOUR dilution factor, minimum time in minutes for the test,
maximum time in minutes for the test, minimum starting DO, minimum Ending DO and solids weight in
grams per liter.
Dilution factor can be set from 1 to 25, if no dilution was required use a factor of 1. Minimum time should be
less than the maximum time for the test (10 character limit for time in minutes). Minimum starting DO can
be set from 5 to 60. Minimum ending DO can be set from 0 to 60.
