5 In the Tank Environment and Presentation Standard tab there are
two groups of parameters. In the Environment box mark the check
boxes that correspond to the conditions in your tank:
Rapid level changes optimizes the transmitter for measurement
conditions where the level changes quickly
due to filling and emptying of the tank.
Turbulent Surface This parameter may be used if the tank
e.g. contains boiling products causing a
turbulent surface. By setting this param-
eter the performance of the transmitter will
be improved when there are small and
quickly changing amplitudes and levels.
Foam Setting this parameter optimizes the trans-
mitter for conditions with weak and varying
surface echo amplitudes.
Solid Products Setting this parameter optimizes the trans-
mitter for products which are not transpar-
ent for radar signals. The effect will be
more reliable handling of false echoes
from beams.
You should not choose more than two options for best performance.
In the Presentation box the following options are available:
Negative values Set this parameter if you want levels below
as Zero the reference point at the bottom of the
tank to be displayed as zero. This param-
eter can be used if you have set a C
distance in the tank geometry configura-
tion (see the
Configuration tab and chapter
Tank Distances ).
Bottom Echo always Mark this check box if the tank shape
visible if empty tank allows bottom echoes to be detected. By
setting this parameter the bottom echo will
be treated as a disturbance echo to facili-
tate tracking of weak surface echoes close
to the tank bottom. If this parameter is not
set, searching for a lost surface echo is
