P878 Lower Cutoff 
This parameter is used to select the minimum Rate to be calculated and can 
be used to eliminate unwanted updates from effects of ripples/waves on the 
surface of the material.  
Filters 
The following three parameters can be used to filter out unwanted changes 
of level caused by a ‘rippled’ or agitated surface. 
P880 Gate Mode 
This parameter determines the operation of the gate that is established 
around the echo being processed and is used to track the echoes movement 
and update the level measurement indication on the display. Please consult 
Pulsar for further information and assistance on changing the value of this 
parameter, Default = 0 (Fixed). 
P881 Fixed Distance 
This parameter determines the width of gate to be used in tracking an echo 
and under normal circumstances will not require changing, but it can be 
increased in the cases where the surface is moving extremely fast (more than 
10m/min) to ensure smooth processing of the changing level.  
Default = 0.2m 
P882 Process Filter 
This parameter determines the response time of the measurement 
P884 Peak Percentage 
This parameter is used if you choose a solids application, P102 Material = 2 
(Solids), where there maybe angles of repose on the material, and can be 
used to determine where in the returned echo the displayed level is. 
Default = 50%
