A. Books have been written on this subject. I would suggest you get one of the books listed on this site, or take a NASF (www.nasf.org) course.

A. A good starting point would be to contact one of the companies that manufacture test cells. In the past, they have sold manuals which give parameters for different solutions and troubleshooting tips.
