Apart from the medium also the vessel form can
influence the measurement. To adapt the sensor to
these conditions, this menu item offers (depending on
either liquid or solid is selected) different options. For
Liquid these are Storage tank, Stilling tube, Open vessel
or Stirred vessel, for Solid Silo or Bunker.

To suppress fluctuation in the measured value display,
e.g. by agitated product surfaces, an integration time
can be set. This time can be between 0 and 999
seconds. Please note that the reaction time of the entire
measurement will be longer and the sensor will react to
quick changes of the measured value with a corre-
sponding delay. In general, a time of a few seconds is
sufficient to smooth the measured value display.

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the
vessel volume does not increase linearly with the level -
e.g. in a cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication
or output of the volume is requested. Corresponding
linearization curves are preprogrammed for these
vessels. They represent the correlation between the
level percentage and vessel volume. By activating the
