number of steps.

types of antenna in radar level measurement, horn, parabolic, rod, and waveguide.
attenuation

magnitude or in decibels.
Auto False-Echo Suppression
a technique used to adjust the level of a TVT to avoid the reading of false echoes. (See
TVT.)
Auto-False Echo Suppression Distance
defines the endpoint of the TVT distance. (See TVT.) This is used in conjunction with auto
false echo suppression.
