Figure 7-10. An Echo Curve plot in View/Record mode.

The current level Measurement Output from the device is presented with an arrow at the top of the plot.

Normally, the measurement output points directly at the surface echo peak, but if, for instance, the tank is empty, and there is no surface echo peak detected, the Measurement Output is still presented indicating the distance to the tank bottom.

In Figure 7-10,the interface output peak is pointing to the linear distance based on corrections for the dielectric of the material. The actual interface peak is at the electrical distance.

The View/Record Mode tab presents a plot of the current tank conditions. Each radar echo is displayed as a peak in the signal plot.

When clicking the Echo Curve icon under Device Config/Tools, the Echo Curve Analyzer window appears with the View/Record Mode tab selected:
