3.1 Tank profiling

The sensor is configured for use with regular tank profiles, such as that shown below.

The sensor is supplied so that it reports the level in a linear path as the level rises. However, this will not be 
suitable for an irregular shaped tank, such as that shown below.

In this situation, 50% of the tank volume is not half way up the probe. To correct for this tank profiling can be 
used. This can be done in the GSlevel software and is covered in detail in the GSlevel User Manual.
