Advanced Meter Features
Multipoint Calibration Curve Feature
The Orion Dual Star meter utilizes a point-to-point scheme for multipoint calibrations in both pH
and concentration modes. In this technique, straight line segments are drawn between each
successive pair of calibration points. Separate slope and Eo values are calculated using the
adjacent pair of data points. For example, in a five point calibration, four slopes and five Eo
values are calculated to correspond to the four line segments that connect the data.
Concentration or pH values for samples are calculated according to the segment that their
potential values fall into. Those above or below the range of calibration are calculated by
extrapolation from the top or bottom most segment.
The displayed slope is an average slope of the separate segments. The slope may be outside
the range normally expected for an electrode. For example, if the slope of one segment is low,
then the average will be lower than theoretical, even though the response may be Nernstian
over most of the range.
The following figure is an example of a typical calibration curve using this method.
