Increase range gate
height by 0.000% of
distance to surface
NEXT↓↓
[Service only item]
This variable can be used to increase the range gate
hieght by a percent of the distance to the surface.
Direct Entry Code: ‘043003’
weighting factor
(GWF) for echoes
inside range gate.
0.000 NEXT↓↓
[Service only item]
During the echo selection process, echoes within the
range are weighted by the preference factor. If this
variable is set to 0.000 (default), no additional
preference is given to echoes within the range gate.
Entering a value greater than 1.0 will help the gauge
track the process material.
Direct Entry Code: ‘064003’
Capture range gate
after 0 “hits”
{128 assumed}
NEXT↓↓
[Service only item]
This is the number of hits within the range gate
window before the gauge would enter capture mode.
If this variable is set to 0.000 (default), the gauge will
use a default value of 32 times the value set for the
time constant.
Direct Entry Code: ‘011004’
Do un-
capture
range gate @ timeout
Change to “Do not”
NEXT↓↓
[Service only item]
If gauge does accept an echo within the range gate
within the agitator reject time, the variable instructs
either “Do” or “Do not” remain in capture mode. “Do
not” would mean the range gate window would not be
used until capture mode is re-established.
Direct Entry Code: ‘040050’
disable range gate
until re-capture
←←Exit this menu
NEXT↓↓ EXECUTE CMD→→
[Service only item]
Executing this command will disable the range gate
until capture mode is re-established. This command is
useful if a large Preference Factor or a long Agitator
Reject Time is preventing the gauge from requiring
the correct echo (process material).
Direct Entry Code: ‘37’ (Command)
Do not bypass range
gate for near echoes.
Change to “Do”→→
Continue as is.↓↓
Open the range gate to closer echoes.
Direct Entry Code: ‘029040’
Do not bypass range
gate for far echoes.
Change to “Do”→→
Continue as is.↓↓
Open the range gate to farther echoes.
Direct Entry Code: ‘029050’
Do not bypass range
gate for all echoes.
Change to “Do”→→
Continue as is.↓↓
Open the range gate to all echoes.
Direct Entry Code: ‘029080’
