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 parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e.g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration.
Test sample Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a test
sample is made by processing the original sample. The test sample and
original sample are identical if the test sample was not processed.
Measured value The measured value is the special value of a measured 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 substance in 1000 g sol-
vent.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
Stability control
(AutoRead )
Function to control the measured value stability.
Standard solution The standard solution is a solution where the measured value is known
by definition. It is used to calibrate a measuring system.
Temperature function Name of a mathematical function expressing the temperature behavior
of a test sample, a sensor or part of a sensor.
