2 Display 3 Socket field Sensors A measuring system ready to measure consists of the Oxi 3315 meter and a suitable sensor. Suitable sensors are IDS dissolved oxygen (D.O.) sensors. Information on available IDS sensors is given on the Internet and in the WTW catalog, "Laboratory and field instrumentation".
to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g. Oxi 3315) and a digital IDS sensor are required. In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the sensor.
