Operation
2.3.1
Display
For operation of the display and the information on it (if applicable), refer tot the instruction manual of the related
level gauge or indicator. Below, only an overview is given which display formats gives information about the
average temperature measurement.
Display format Displayed information
A
Product level and average product temperature
C
Average gas temperature and status
D
Average product temperature and status
2.3.2
Data items
Table 2 – 3 lists a number of data items. They contain measured data, verification data and error data. The
verification data can be used to check the results of certain steps in the measuring sequence. The temperature
status indicates the validity of the measured data. The error data provides low level error information about the
temperature measurement (refer to section 2.4).
