Abstract

Device for the automatic evaluation of a plurality of test sample components, in particular within the field of water and sewage water analysis, comprising at least one chemical sensor into which the test sample component(s) is/are placed, and comprising a measuring device to determine the measurable variables which are characteristic for the test sample component(s), characterized in that each sensor is provided with a coding region for information regarding the measurable variable to be determined, and in that a reading device, for the evaluation of the coding region, and a monitoring device, which is connected to the reading device and the measuring device, are provided, wherein the monitoring device adapts the measuring device to the measurable variable to be determined on the basis of the reading supplied by the reading device.
