ATC
Setting up an ATC makes tracking of the product surface more robust in the presence of noise
and weak disturbing echoes. The ATC is normally used for filtering out disturbances with an
amplitude smaller than the amplitude of the product surface echo.
The ATC is designed as a number of individually adjustable amplitude threshold points.

Threshold
To create an ATC, the Measure and Learn function is available in the RRM program.
