Dip table
The dip table is used to correct the level readings of the Micropilot S using independently taken hand
dips. The dip table is used in particular to adapt the level gauge to the specific application conditions
as mechanical offset and tank/stilling well design. Depending on national regulations, national
inspectors will dip the tank at one to three levels during a calibration run and check the level
readings. Only one value pair must be entered into the dip table to correct the measurement
offset
.
If a second value pair is entered into the dip table, the Micropilot S accepts the corrected measured
values identically for both value pairs. All other measured values are determined by linear
extrapolation. If you enter more than two value pairs, the system carries out a linear interpolation
between adjacent value pairs. Outside these value pairs, extrapolation is also linear.

To collect and enter data into the dip table, two alternative procedures may be carried out.
In order not to mix up measurement values corrected by the offset or linearisation of the dip table
with uncorrected measurement values, it is recommended to use the semi-automatic mode of the
dip table to enter new data pairs. In this case, the first dip value should be entered immediately after
the basic calibration. Further linearization points should be entered only after a level change of at
least 2 m (cf. upper figure, preferred choice) and a deviation between the "uncorrected
measurement value" and the hand dip value of at least > 4 mm. If this procedure can not be
followed, then
no
value pair should be entered into the dip table after basic calibration.
Measurement data and hand dip values should be collected over the full measurement range and
be evaluated with regard to a good linear fit. Only then characteristic value pairs should be entered
into the dip table using the "manual mode" (cf. upper figure, right side). If further linearisation is
needed, further hand dip values should be entered
using only the "semi-automatic mode
".
