With ultrasonic and radar sensors, the "false echo curve" represents the saved false echoes (see menu "service") of the empty vessel with signal strength in "db" over the measuring range. With all plics ® sensors, up to 3000 measured values (depending on the sensor) are recorded when starting a "tre...
