Option Description
Reading Sets the reading mode to single, continuous or RST mode. Single (default)—The
Mode measurement stops when the reading is stable. Continuous—The measurement
continues until the user pushes Done. RST—The Rapidly Settling Turbidity (RST)
mode calculates and continuously updates the turbidity reading of the sample to a
confidence of 95%, based on the accumulated trend of the real time measured
values. The RST mode is best used on samples that settle rapidly and
continuously change in value. The reading is based on a correctly prepared
sample that is homogeneous at the beginning of the reading. It is best applied to
samples that are greater than 20 NTU. The sample must be mixed thoroughly by
inversion immediately before inserting it into the instrument. Signal Avg—The
turbidity reading that shows on the display is an average of the values measured
during the time interval selected. Options: For single measurement mode, 5 to
15 seconds. For continuous measurement mode, 5 to 90 seconds.
Unit Selects the measurement units that show on the display and that are recorded to
the data log. Options: NTU (default), FNU.
Bubble Sets the bubble reject to on (default) or off. When set to on, high turbidity readings
Reject caused by bubbles in the sample are not shown or saved to the data log.
Data Log Sets the data log settings. Auto Store—Measurement data is automatically
Setup recorded in the reading log. Default: On. If Auto Store is off, push Options>Store to

Default: XML. Print Format—Sets the output format of measurement data that is

all of the devices (e.g., printer and USB flash drive) that are connected to the
instrument after each measurement. Options: Off, new file or continue file: off—do
