Reference Element which is used to compensate for the influences of temperature on the Exposed Element. The MS3500E/MS3510E High Resolution ER Data Logger is designed to work with any standard ER probe, but it is recommended that Cylindrical and Large Flush type probes be used to ensure optimum performance. - Page 6 ER probe utilizing a high- resolution, 16-bit measurement. This allows the unit to detect much smaller amounts of metal loss, thus responding faster to corrosion events and upsets. At 16-bit resolution the MS3500E/MS3510E ER Data Logger can measure metal loss amounts as small as 0.004% of the probe life. For highly sensitive probes such as the 5-mil large flush shown above, that results in a detection limit of less than one angstrom.
