Dry calibration

3.3.3. Low Calibration Pt. (default 30.000 m)

Distance from Sensor Reference to Low Calibration Point (corresponding to Low Level Point). Unit is defined in Sensor units.

1.Sensor Reference Point: the point to which all the Sensor Calibration parameters are referenced, which is the flange face.

2.Level Value: the level measured in level units.
