They represent the correlation between the level percentage and the vessel volume. The linearization applies to the measured value indication and the current output. By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is correctly displayed. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g.
5 Setup - Sensors up to software 3.99 • Min. and max. temperature: ultrasonic sensors, pressure transmitters Peak value Diagnosis/Measurement reliability When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be influenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item, the measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value. The measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The higher the value, the more reliable the measurement.
5 Setup - Sensors up to software 3.99 Information: The trend recording is not activated when being shipped. It must be started by the user via the menu item "Start trend curve". A comparison of the echo curve and the false echo curve allows a more detailled evaluation of measurement reliability. The selected curve is updated continuously. With the [OK] key, a submenu with zoom functions is opened.
