During the normal operation of the instrument, after the instrument continuously measures the standard solution with the chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) concentration value of about 160 mg/L for three times (the measurement results will not be examined), the instrument successively measures the standard solution with the concentration values of about 40 mg/L and 160 mg/L for seven times respectively.
