4.4.4D.O. calibration
Why calibrate?D.O. sensors age. This changes the slope of the D.O. sensor.
Calibration determines the current slope of the sensor and stores this
value in the instrument.
When to calibrate?z After connecting another D.O. sensor
z When the sensor symbol flashes (after the calibration interval has
expired).
Calibration datasetsThe Oxi 3205 administrates two sets of calibration data:
z Set 1 for the type, "CellOx": – CellOx 325
z Set 2 for the type, "DurOx": – DurOx 325
Sensors of different types can be calibrated separately from each other.
When one sensor type is calibrated, the calibration data of the other
type remains stored. The Oxi 3205 recognizes the type of the
connected sensor and automatically uses the correct calibration data.

D.O. saturationShort name for the relative D.O. saturation.
Measured parameterThe measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration.
Measured valueThe 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).

®
WTW name for a procedure to calibrate D.O. measuring systems in
water vapor saturated air.
ResetRestoring the original condition of all settings of a measuring system.
ResolutionSmallest difference between two measured values that can be
displayed by a meter.

SalinityThe absolute salinity SA of seawater corresponds to the relationship
of the mass of dissolved salts to the mass of the solution (in g/Kg). In
practice, this dimension cannot be measured directly. Therefore, the
practical salinity according to IOT is used for oceanographic
monitoring. It is determined by measuring the electrical conductivity.
Salt contentGeneral designation for the quantity of salt dissolved in water.
Slope (relative)Designation used by WTW in the D.O. measuring technique. It
expresses the relation of the slope value to the value of a theoretical
reference sensor of the same construction type.
Stability controlFunction to control the measured value stability.
Test sampleDesignation 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.
