Application Example:
We like to display the filling quantity (volume) of a tank as shown below, with use of a pressure
sensor mounted to the bottom of the tank. With this application the analogue pressure signal is
proportional to the filling level, but not to the filling quantity.

To solve the problem, we divide the non-linear part of the tank into 14 parts. We enter the
expected display values of the pressure sensor to registers P01_x to P15 _x.
For the linear part of the tank it is sufficient to store the final pressure value to register P16_x.
Now we can easily calculate the appropriate filling quantities and enter these values to the
registers P01_y to P16_y.
