In this example, the index of the level edge
has the value 3�
Fig� 2: Index of level edge
1: Medium
2: Orientation: connector at bottom
3: Orientation: connector on top
The zero electrode is always at the bottom, independent of the sensor's
orientation� The set limitation of sensor elements from the top or from the bottom
limits the provided index� For example, if the limitation of the elements from the
bottom has been set to 2, the minimum index of the level edge will also be 2�
If no level edge can be detected, the device decides whether the detection range
is completely covered or uncovered based on the application adjustments carried
�
Detection range completely covered:
"13-topOffset"
Detection range uncovered:
"bottomOffset"
If no decision can be made based on the adjustments or if no adjustment has
been carried out, the substitute value "0xFF" is provided�
5.6.2 Signal strength referred to the dynamic range
Indicates the signal strength measured at the edge of the level in a value range
from 0 to 100� If no edge of the level could be detected, the substitute value
"0xFF" is provided� A low value can for example indicate that the wall is too thick
or that the medium has a low dielectric constant�
