Unipolar and bipolar measuring ranges
The measurement of the fill level in our example took place within a bipolar measuring
range. In addition to the positive voltage the transducer also provides negative voltage.
Because the tank volume is mapped to the range from -27648 to +27648 increments, the
measurement of the fill level takes place with twice the resolution (Δ) as in the unipolar
measuring range.
Note
Transducers
The prerequisite for a measurement within a bipolar measuring range is
that the used
transducer supports bipolar measuring ranges.

The measurement of the fill level in the bipolar measuring range takes place with twice the
resolution (Δ) as in the unipolar measuring range.
