Medium beam width
This enables you to further adjust the width of this sound beam in a range of 10 ... 100 %
according to the previous selection of the medium beam width (via parameter or programming
button).
Wide beam width
This enables you to further adjust the width of this sound beam in a range of 10 ... 100 %
according to the previous selection of the wide beam width (via parameter or programming but-
ton).
8.4.2 Echo Evaluation
This parameter allows you to specify whether the sensor uses the first or strongest echo for
evaluation purposes.
The preferred setting in most applications is to evaluate the "first echo." This is because the first
echo corresponds to the closest object to the sensor which is relevant to the response of the
sensor.
More rarely, it can be advantageous to set echo evaluation to "strongest echo" if smaller inter-
fering objects (e.g., welding seams) near to the sensor prevent the correct tank fill level from
being captured. By setting echo evaluation to "strongest echo," the echo with the highest ampli-
tude is used for evaluation purposes.
