Jump to navigation Jump to search

Parameter to be measured:

Electric conductivity (EC) (Salinity)

Method:

handheld EC meter

Equipment:

base unit, probe with cable (, optional: protective rubber sheat)

Advantages:

  • storage for 5000 records (automatic) and 200 (manual)
  • intuitive menu system (opposed to cryptic key combinations of Electric conductivity - WTW cond340i
  • backlit display
  • USB-connection
  • probe of cond 340i can still be used
  • still works with Multipilot software

Disadvantages:

  • protection rubber doesn't cover USB jack
  • awkward and poorly documented software installation
  • no native USB-device - USB-serial driver must be installed
  • data download is still clumsy and prone to failure, must be invoked from the device
  • rubber sheat no longer holds sensor

What to watch out for:

If problems occure with the data read-out of stored data:

  • If you are using the MultiLabImporter in Excel: Press "Enter" directly after you clicked on the "read-out-button" in Excel
