T-COMP
(Temperature Compensation):
Used to enable or disable the internal temperature compensation of the sen
-
sor. Enabling the internal temperature compensation can reduce the effects of
temperature changes by 50% or more, depending on the temperature gradient
through the sensing range.
MULTIP
(Multiplier):
Sets the conversion Multiplier that will be applied to the sensor readings. The
default is 1.000 and typically does not need to be adjusted. However, since the
speed of sound is not constant through all environments, the multiplier pa
-
rameter allows the user to adjust for variations in atmosphere when maximum
accuracy is required.
OFFSET
(Offset):
Adjusts the zero reference point of the sensor (in the selected Units). When
the Offset is set to 0, the zero reference of the sensor is at the face of the
transducer. Setting the Offset to a negative number will move the zero
reference backward (behind the sensor face), while a positive setting will move
the reference forward (in front of the sensor face).
NOTE: because of the nature of shifting the zero reference of the sensor
while operating in Level mode or any of the volumetric calculation modes,
adjusting the Offset will appear to have the opposite effect on the level
reading. A negative Offset will cause the level or volume to increase, while a
positive offset will cause the level/volume reading to decrease.
RESET
(reset to factory defaults):
resets all parameter values back to
factory defaults.
NOTE: while the Sensitivity, Pulses, and Blanking parameters of an attached
DST sensor will be reset to factory defaults by performing a reset function,
these same parameters within an RS-485 based sensor (MNU or MPX) will
not be changed by performing the reset function.
