12.2 General information
Specialist term Description
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant
value (e. g. the displayed value) differs as little as possi-
ble 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 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 solvent.
Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending
on the measured parameter) of the electrode is the elec-
trical potential. The electrical current remains constant.
Reset Restoring the original condition of all settings of a mea-
suring 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.
