3320 Ion concentration page 62). Criteria The AutoRead criteria affect the reproducibility of the measured values. The following criteria can be adjusted: high: highest reproducibility medium: medium reproducibility low: lowest reproducibility Increasing reproducibility also causes the response time to increase until a measured value is evaluated as stable.

Ion-selective electrodes age and are temperature-dependent. This changes the slope. As a result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration determines the calibration line of the electrode and stores this value in the meter.
