Out of Range Samples (1 to 255) (40414)
Determines the number of consecutive level readings that fall outside of the
acceptance window before the “out of range” target is recognized as being
legitimate and figured into the averaging buffer. Out of Range readings
detected fewer times than the Out of Range Samples setting will be rejected.
Sample Rate (50 to 1000 msec) (40415)
Sets the interval between float readings. Options allow rates from 50 to
1000 msec. A higher Sample Rate will result in a more rapid response to level
changes. Lowering the Sample Rate will help decrease the chance of detecting
errant readings. It is highly recommended that the Sample Rate be set only as
fast as is necessary for the application. A sample rate of 500 to 1000 msec. is
usually appropriate for slow moving level sensing applications.
Multiplier (0 to 19999) (40416)
Sets the calibration multiplier that will be applied to the sensor readings.
Offset (-10364 to 10364 mm) (40417)
Used to adjust the zero reference point of the sensor.
RTD Offset (-100 to 100 mm) (40421)
Used to calibrate the internal temperature sensor located at the bottom of the
stem (MPX-E1 and MPX-R1 only).
Float Window (0 to 1000 mm; 0 = single float) (40422)
Sets the distance from top float to the point where the sensor will start looking
for a second float. If the Float Window is set too small, the trailing end of
the top float signal will be picked up as the bottom float level, causing errant
readings.
NOTE: the Float Window should always be set to 0 when using only 1 float.
1st and 2nd Float Offset (-10364 to 10364 mm) (40423 to 40424)
Used to calibrate the top and bottom float readings.
Gain Offset (0 to 255) (40425)
Factory set--do not adjust. Default = 128.
