Overview ProLab 2000 ID sensors SI Analytics ID sensors support the automatic sensor recognition function. Their sensor designation has the addition "ID", e.g. A 161 1M DIN-ID electrode. Note Information on available ID sensors is given on the Internet or directly by SI Analytics. ID sensors connected to the ProLab 2000 meter can be recognized by the ID sensor symbol on the display of the meter. pH 7.000 ID sensor symbol 25.0 °C 26.04.
ProLab 2000 Overview 1.6 Electronic access control The ProLab 2000 always documents measurement data and calibration data with an ID number (USER ID). If the USER ID is assigned to a certain user, all measurement data is also assigned to the user in compliance with GLP. The USER ID is easily and safely transmitted to the ProLab 2000 via an electronic key. Each electronic key in the form of a keyring pendant contains a key number.
