3.5.3.2. Window Used

Displays the size of the window used for the previous measurement. Window used is the closest usable window size, depending on the device measurement resolution.

For example, if window = 1 m, the window used might be 0.96 m. 3.5.3.3. Shots

The number of echo profile samples averaged to produce a measurement..

3.5.4.1. Near Range

The range in front of the device (referenced from the flange face) within which any echoes will be ignored. (This is sometimes referred to as Blanking or Dead Zone.)

Values

Range: 0.35 to 100 m max.

Default: 0.6 m

Parameters

The default setting of 0.6 m avoids a false echo being triggered by condensation or other material buildup. If no buildup is anticipated (for example, with dry cement) then the minimum setting 0.35 m can be used.

3.5.4.2. Far Range

Note: Far Range can extend beyond the bottom of the vessel.

Maximum distance from the reference point, within which an echo should be considered valid.

Values

Range: 0 to 100 m max.

Default: The value of Low Calibration Point plus 20%.
