17.4
Upper limit of the sound speed
When the plausibility of the signal is evaluated, it will be checked whether the sound speed is within a defined range. The
used upper limit of the fluid sound speed is the greatest of the following values:
• fixed upper value, default: 1848 m/s
• value of the sound speed curve of the fluid at the operating point plus offset, default offset: 300 m/s
In the SuperUser mode, the values can be defined for fluids that are not contained in the data set of the transmitter.
• Select the menu item
Special Funct.\SYSTEM settings\Measuring\Miscellaneous
.
• Press ENTER until the menu item
Bad soundspeed
is displayed.
• Enter for each measuring channel the fixed upper limit of the sound speed.
• Enter zero to use the default value of 1848 m/s.
• Press ENTER.
• Enter for each measuring channel the offset.
• Enter zero to use the default value of 300 m/s.
• Press ENTER.
It is possible to display the valid range for the sound speed (
SS
) in the lower line within the program branch
Measuring
during the measurement. The second value (here: 2146 m/s) corresponds to the upper limit at the operating point.
Notice!
The limit of the signal amplification is still activated after the deactivation of the SuperUser mode.

Example
fixed upper value of the sound speed (
thresh.
): 2007 m/s
offset
: 600 m/s
value of the sound speed curve at the operating point: 1546 m/s
As 1546 m/s + 600 m/s = 2146 m/s is greater than the fixed upper value 2007, this value will be used as the upper limit
of the sound speed when the plausibility of the signal is evaluated.

Notice!
The defined upper limit of the sound speed remains activated after the deactivation of the SuperUser mode.
