chap6.fm Page 39 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 2:26 PM By using SIMATIC PDM, you can display a list of all echoes in your vessel. It provides the distance between the flange and the measuring medium’s surface, as well as the distances of fixed targets. These may be directly used and transferred to the fix distance list. 4.2.3.9: Auto False Echo Suppression (F = use) Learns and records the current signal up to the suppression distance setting. These signals are then ignored during operation.

Enter the appropriate volume (determined by manual calibration). If you access this parameter, first the currently measured level is displayed. Accept it by pressing . Enter the appropriate volume, save it by pressing or reject it by pressing .

In the second line, the level corresponding to the first reference value appears first and then the corresponding volume value when you switch further. Each switching accesses a further reference value. 4.2.5.8.
