Blocking out of disturbing object  

One fixed object in the tank, disturbing the measurement, can be blocked out. 
Enter distance of the object from the transducer. Use the Echo Map (

P70

) to read out the precise distance of disturbing objects.

P31:   

Sound velocity at 20 

C (m/sec or ft/sec depending on P00(c)) 

Use this parameter if the sound velocity in the gases above the measured surface differs largely from that of in air. 
Recommended for applications where the gas is more or less homogeneous. If it is not, the accuracy of the measurement can be improved using 
32-point linearisation (

). 

For sound velocities in various gases see section “Sound Velocities”.
