9.7  32- Point Linearisation 

P47: - - - a  Linearisation 

Linearisation is the method of assigning requested (calibrated or calculated) level, volume or flow to 
values measured by the transmitter.  
It can be used for instance if the sound velocity is not known (LEVEL

LEVEL) or in the case of tank with 

other shape than under 6.4 or open channel other than under 6.5 (LEVEL 

 VOLUME or LEVEL 

 

FLOW).

P48:  

Linearisation table 

Data-pairs of the linearisation table are handled in a 2x32 matrix, consisting of two columns. 

Left column “

L”

 

Right column “

r”

 

LEVEL measured 

LEVEL or VOLUME or FLOW to be transmitted and displayed 

The left column values (indicated on the display as “

L

”) contain the measured LEVEL values. 

The right column values (indicated on the display as “

r

”) contain the calibrated values and are interpreted 

according to the selected measurement value in 

P01(a)

The table must always start with: L(1)= 0 and r(1)= value (assigned to 0 level) 
The table must be ended either with the 32

nd

 data pair i.e. j=32 or if the linearisation table contains less than 32 

data-pairs j<32, the table must be closed by a level value “0” e.g. 

L

(j<32)= 0. 

The NUS-4 will ignore data after recognising level value “0” with serial number other than “1”. 

If the above conditions are not met, error codes will be displayed (see chapter: Error Codes).
