routine must be re-run if the following parameters
are modified: SENSOR OFFSET, TANK HEIGHT,
BLOCKING DISTANCE, DIELECTRIC,
TURBULENCE, FOAM
- The EchoRej Invalid message will be displayed if this
algorithm is DISABLED due to a parameter change.
4.) Enter Level- use this entry to manually enter the
