Temperature compensation
The temperature compensation has been designed in to compensate the dependance of the speed of sound
on temperature.
Provided the temperature compensation is ON changes induced by varying environmental
temperature are compensated to 2% of So (So = distance from sensor to object). Note: the compensation
becomes active only 15 minutes after the power has been applied. When the temperature compensation is
switched OFF, the sensor measures immediately and correctly at room temperature. Is the environmental
temperature changing a measurement error of 0,18% Sde/K occurs.
