  • Page 37 Fig. 59 Max. Titration Time The maximum titration time is used with samples that generate an increased drift in the end and when it is not possible to achieve stable end values. The max. titration time can be adjusted from 0 to 9999 s. The standard value is pre-set to 600 s.
  • Page 38 Fig. 62 Working point The working point in mV is the base value for the indicator electrode. It can be set from 1 to 1000 mV. 300 mV is pre-set as standard value and works for many reagent/reagent combinations. A higher value is maybe sometimes necessary.
  • Page 39 This means: The lower the entered stop drift, the longer takes the measurement. If a high stop drift (e.g. 20 µg/min) is entered, the measurement ends significantly faster. Low value = exact measurement, high value = inexact measurement. As stop drift 2 µg/min are pre-set as standard value. The value can be entered from 0.01 to 25 µg/min.

  • Page 40: Sample Identification

    If the drift change is within the stop drift tolerance during the entire follow-up time, the measurement will be ended. Diagram 2: The criterion stop drift as difference to the start drift, the stop drift tolerance as stability criterion for the drift.
