11.2 General information
Specialist term Description
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the rele-
vant value (e. g. the displayed value) differs as little as
possible from the correct value or a value that is
regarded as correct, or that the difference remains
within the tolerance.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring
range.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g.
the displayed value) to the correct value or a value
that is regarded as correct. Often, this expression is
also used when the measuring system is adjusted at
the same time (see adjusting).
Measured param-
eter
The measured parameter is the physical dimension
determined by measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or
D.O. concentration.
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a mea-
sured parameter to be determined. It is given as a
combination of the numerical value and unit (e. g.
3 m; 0.5 s; 5.2 A; 373.15 K).
Molality Molality is the quantity (in Mol) of a dissolved sub-
stance in 1000 g solvent.
Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depend-
ing on the measured parameter) of the electrode is
the electrical potential. The electrical current remains
constant.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a
measuring system.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values
that can be displayed by a meter.
Stability control
(AutoRead )
Function to control the measured value stability.
