F.3.34 Echoes needed (P042)
Echoes Needed is used to avoid stirrers that give occasional high level signals when they
protrude from the liquid surface. The transmitter monitors the echoes returned from the liquid
surface or any other target within range.
A valid surface echo is one that exceeds the signal strength threshold consecutively for more
ultrasonic pulse cycles than set by Echoes Needed.
This parameter is not available in the 3100 Series DD (Device Descriptor) file. However, it can be
adjusted using the integral buttons (see "Setting valid echo count (on the 3102/3105)" on page 68).
