Following items will be displayed in case of nOk – .
The standard deviation is shown as number of errors in the selected period. For each
parameter, the following limit (in percentage) applies:
Standard deviation spec.
Similar to the electrode voltage scanning. Evaluates the measuring quality (standard
deviation) of several single measurement points of the electrode adjusting curve. If
the standard deviation increases with the distance to the reference electrode, cross
currents are concerned. If the standard deviation is insufficient at all ISE electrodes
the reference electrode is concerned or air bubbles are present in the sample path.
Possible error causes: defective measuring chamber electronics, defective reference
electrode, wetting problems.
Following items will be displayed in case of nOk – .
The standard deviation spec. is shown as number of errors in the selected period. For
each measuring chamber, the following limit (in percentage) applies:
Stability monitor limits
The stability monitor uses smaller limits than the applied limits to the instrument in order to
recognize problems at an early stage.
