Abstract
A microprocessor-controlled pH and ion concentration meter is disclosed with improved testing procedures. The meter can be tested for excessive internal bias current by measuring the potential (V1) when the meter is connected to a circuit a known voltage (E1) of low impedance and the potential (V2) when the meter is connected to a circuit of the same voltage source (E1) but of known high impedance and having the meter compare (V2-V1) to a preset limit value. The meter can be tested for low internal impedance by further measuring the potential (V4) when the meter is connected to a circuit of a second external voltage (E2) and the known high impedance (R1). The meter then calculates: (V4-V2) and compares that value to preset limits based upon E1, E2 and R1. Such limits can be derived as (Z.sub.o) (E2-E1) / (R.sub.1 +Z.sub.o) where Z.sub.o is the minimum acceptable internal impedance.
