P23:  - - - a  Angle of repose (repose formation) 

FACTORY DEFAULT: 0 

This parameter is important for the optimalisation of the of the 

QUEST+

 software echo evaluation. 

The optimal setting of this parameter can be done with the help of checking the echo strength in the read-
out parameter 

P72

 indicating the echo amplitude in dB. 

The ideal setting of 

P23

 is at which the parameter value in 

P72

 becomes the best (nearest “0”).
