6.8.2 Envelope curve with the ToF Tool<br />

After the basic setup, an evaluation of the measurement using the envelope curve is<br />

recommended (→ ä 72).<br />

For the optimization of the measurement the installation of the <strong>Levelflex</strong> in another place can be<br />

executed when enterference echoes.<br />

An evaluation of the measurement with the aid of the envelope curve<br />

Typical curve shape:<br />

The following examples display typical curve shapes for a rope or rod probe in an empty tank. For<br />

all probe types, a negative probe end signal is shown. For rope probes, the end weight causes an<br />

additional preliminary positive echo (see rope probe diagram).<br />

Level echoes are detected as positive signals in the envelope curve. Interference echoes can be both<br />

positive (e.g. reflections from internals) and negative (e.g. nozzles). The envelope curve, the map<br />

and the differential curve are used for the evaluation.Level echoes are searched for in the differential<br />

curve.<br />
