TVT

A custom Time Varying Threshold (TVT) allows you to screen out false echoes, for

example, in a tank with obstructions. See

Auto False Echo Suppression (2.4.8.1.)

on page

142 for more information.

There are two options:

• Auto False Echo Suppression automatically calculates the position of the TVT.

• TVT shaper breakpoints allow you to manually modify the TVT

TVT (Auto False Echo Suppression)

Navigate to Configure/Setup > LTB > Setup > Signal Processing > TVT.

• Auto False Echo Suppression

For more details see TVT (Auto False Echo Suppression) Setup (2.4.8.) on page
