Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence the
measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions, this
menu item offers different options depending on whether liquid or solid
is selected. With "Solid" these are "Silo" or "Bunker", with "Liquid",
"
Storage tank", "Stilling tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel".

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal cylindrical
or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
percentage and vessel volume. By activating the appropriate curve,
the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed correctly. If the
volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling
can be also set in the menu item "Display".

False reflections by vessel installation can impair the measurement as
described in chapter "Mounting". A false echo storage detects and
marks these false echoes, so that they are no longer taken into
account for the level measurement. To detect these interfering
reflections over the complete measuring range, the gating out of false
echoes should be carried out with empty vessel.
Information:
However, the measuring signals are not damped by the product in
completely empty, closed metal vessels. Due to this, considerable
multiple reflections can be caused by which the noise level can
increase. In such vessels, it is recommended to carry out the gating
out of false echoes with part filling.
