5.6 Evaluating the signal quality

Parameters describe the quality of the measuring signal.

■
SigQa1
Characteristic for the robustness of the TrsHld setting
■
Not active in foam mode. The displayed value is only valid if the sensor is displaying the correct
■
level value.
Value range: 0 to 100%
○
Good signal: > 40% (a high pulse reserve is provided with the current TrsHld setting.)
○
Measures: Reduce EXPRT-Config-TrsHld to increase SigQa1.
■
Note:
■
Changing TrsHld will have an impact on SigQa2 and SigQa3.
○
If a satisfactory SigQa1 value cannot be achieved by adjusting TrsHld in conjunction with the
○
SigQa values, the installation condition must be checked. Using a coaxial tube improves signal
detection, particularly in media with low DK values (e.g., oil).
SigQa2
Characteristic for the robustness of echo pulse detection in relation to interference pulses
■
Not active in foam mode. The displayed value is only valid if the sensor displays the correct level
■
value.
Value range: 0 to 100 %
○
Good signal: > 50 %
○
Measures: Launch AutCal; check installation conditions; remove buildup from the probe and the
■
process connection
SigQa3
Characteristic for signal noise and electromagnetic interference
■
Value range: 0 to 100%
○
Good signal: > 75%
○
Poor signal: < 50%
○
Not active in foam mode. The displayed value is only valid if the sensor displays the correct level
■
value.
Value range: 0 to 100 %
○
Measures:
■
Increase EXPRT-Config-TrsHld
○
EXPRT-Config-MeasMd = HiAcc
○
Improve filtering
○
Switch on filter
○
Reduce EXPRT-Config-MaxCol
