3.2 Principle of operation
VEGASON 63 is an ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measure-
ment. It is suitable for liquids and solids in practically all industries.
The transducer of the ultrasonic sensor transmits short ultrasonic
pulses to the measured product. These pulses are reflected by
product surface and received back by the transducer as echoes.
The running time of the ultrasonic pulses from emission to reception
