Abstract
A controller for a pH probe having a first interface for controlling a pH probe and a second interface for controlling a source of vibration of the pH probe. The controller for the pH probe has a processor coordinating operation of the source of vibration via the second interface and the pH probe via the first interface. The processor is adapted to determine at least two controllable aspects of the source of vibration selected from a list consisting of amplitude, oscillation frequency, duration, period, start time, stop time, and delay between the stop time and the start time.

A controller for a pH probe comprising:
- a first interface for controlling a pH probe;
- a second interface for controlling a source of vibration of the pH probe;
- and
- a processor coordinating operation of the source of vibration via the second interface and the pH probe via the first interface, the processor adapted to determine at least two controllable aspects of the source of vibration selected from a list consisting of amplitude, oscillation frequency, duration, period, start time, stop time, and delay between the stop time and the start time.
A method for use of a pH probe comprising:
- adjusting via a first interface between a controller and a pH probe, pH sampling;
- controlling a source of vibration of the pH probe via a second interface between the controller and the source of vibration;
- and
- coordinating operation of the source of vibration and the pH probe including determining at least two controllable aspects of the source of vibration selected from a list consisting of amplitude, oscillation frequency, duration, period, start time, stop time, and delay between the stop time and the start time.
A system comprising:
- a first interface for controlling a pH probe;
- a second interface for controlling a source of vibration that impacts the pH probe;
- and
- a processor adapted to determine at least two controllable aspects of the source of vibration selected from a list consisting of amplitude, oscillation frequency, duration, period, start time, stop time, and delay between the stop time and the start time.
