Direct Entry Code: ‘026050’.
number of weighted
regions 3
{2 to 8}
NEXT↓↓
The default is 2 regions, meaning the tank will be
divided into 2 regions. A maximum of 8 regions is
allowed.
Note: A separate menu item will be displayed to define the extent of each region,
except the last region. The first region always begins at the REF LINE
(0.000). The boundaries of the last region are defined by the farther
boundary of the next-to-last region and the maximum distance point.
region 1 Distance
0.000 to 10.00 ft
NEXT↓↓
Enter far boundary for region 1 (10.00 ft in this
example). The next region begins at the far boundary
of the previous region and ends at the user-entered
value. The accuracy of the regional boundary entries
are the greater of the max_distance/256 or 1.5 inches.
region 2 Distance
10.00 to 15.00 ft
NEXT↓↓
Enter far boundary for region 2 (15.00 ft in this
example), and so on. Only 3 regions were specified in
this example. The boundary of the third (last) region
is defined by farther boundary of region 2 and the
maximum distance point.
Note: Following menu items prompt for the desired weighting factor for each
region. The region weighting factors (RWFs) work in combination with the
other echo weighting factors. The RWFs do not alter the echo report.
region 1 {RWF(1)
0.000 to 10.00 ft}
factor 1.000
NEXT↓↓
A separate weighting factor can be assigned to each
of the regions.
region 2 {RWF(2)
10.00 to 15.00 ft}
factor 1.000
NEXT↓↓
Enter region 2 weighting factor.
region 3 {RWF(3)
15.00 to 20.71 ft}
factor 1.000
NEXT↓↓
Enter weighting factor for region 3 (the last region in
this example).
