3.2. CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT When the calibration is over, the cell is ready to make measurements. Use a cell suited to the medium to be measured. Between measurements, the cell must be rinsed, then dried. For each measurement, wait for the measurement to stabilize and for the temperature to be correctly established. Conductivity is the capacity of a solution to conduct electric current. -
Page 17: Resistivity Measurement
You must then correct the temperature displayed, using the ▲ and ▼ keys, so that it is equal to the measured temperature of the solution. The instrument corrects the response of the cell as a function of the temperature. To calibrate the cell, always correct the temperature first. 3.3. -
Page 18: Tds Measurement
3.4. TDS MEASUREMENT The TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measurement is used to estimate the level of dissolved solids in a solution. You must first calibrate the cell for conductivity and parameterize the measurements (in particular the temperature correction, the reference temperature, and the TDS factor) before making TDS measurements. ■... -
Page 19: Recording The Measurements
To see the records, you must use a PC and install the Data Logger Transfer software (see § 4). 3.7. ANALOGUE OUTPUTS The CA 10141E is equipped with 2 analogue outputs (3 x 4 mm banana sockets- red, black and yellow) which supply continuously a voltage proportional to the measurement value and a voltage proportional to the temperature. - Page 20 This configuration is defined in the SetAnalogOutput_Conduc.txt and SetAnalogOutput_T.txt files. To access it, connect the instrument to a PC using the USB / micro-USB cable. The PC “sees” the instrument as a USB drive, so you can read its contents. Use a text editor to open the SetAnalogOutput_Conduc.txt file to see its default contents: SET OUTPUT_0V_CONDUC SET OUTPUT_5V_CONDUC...
