P1-875, P2-875 Rate Time 
This parameter is the period (in seconds) over which the material level rate 
of change is averaged before the Rate Value (P877) is updated. If the Rate 
Distance (P876) is exceeded before the Rate Time (P875) has expired then 
the Rate Value (P877) will be updated immediately. Default = 60sec. 
P1-876, P2-876 Rate Distance 
This  parameter  is  the  rate  Measurement  Units  (P104)  over  which  the 
material level must change before the Rate Value (P877) is updated. If the 
Rate  Time  (P875)  expires  before  the  Rate  Distance  (P876)  is  exceeded 
then the Rate Value (P877) will be updated immediately. Default = 0.164 
feet. 
P1-877, P2-877 Rate Value 
This  parameter  displays  the  current  rate  of  change  of  material  level,  in 
Measurement Units (P104) per minute. It is read only. 
P1-878, P2-878 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 
P1 or P2 
The  following  parameters  can  be  used  to  filter  out  unwanted  changes  of 
level caused by a ‘rippled’ or agitated surface. 
P1-880, P2-880 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) 
P1-881, P2-881 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 (in excess 
of 32.8084 feet/min) to ensure smooth processing of the changing level.
