Consistency check
If a wide range for the sound speed has been entered in the program branch
Parameter
or the exact parameters of the fluid are unknown, a consistency check is recommended.
The transducer distance can be displayed during the measurement by scrolling the key
, see Fig. 9.3.
The optimum transducer distance is displayed in brackets (here: 50.0 mm) in the upper
line, followed by the entered transducer distance (here: 54.0 mm). The latter value has to
correspond to the adjusted transducer distance.
• Press ENTER to optimize the transducer distance.
The optimum transducer distance is calculated on the basis of the measured sound
speed. It is therefore a better approximation than the first recommended value which had
been calculated on the basis of the sound speed range entered in the program branch
Parameter
.
If the difference between the optimum and entered transducer distance is less than spec-
ified in Tab. 9.4, the measurement is consistent and the measured values are valid. The
measurement can be continued.
• If the difference is greater, adjust the transducer distance to the displayed optimum value.
• Afterwards, check the signal quality and the signal amplitude bar graph.
• Press ENTER.
