TVT (Auto False Echo Suppression) Setup (2.5.10.)
Note
• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions when Auto False Echo
Suppression is used to learn the echo profile. (An empty
or almost empty vessel is recommended.)
• Note the distance to material level when Auto False Echo learns the environment. Set
Auto False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter
distance to avoid the material echo being screened out.
• Set Auto False Echo Suppression and Auto False Echo Suppression Range during startup, if
possible.
• If the vessel contains an agitator it should be running.
• Before adjusting these parameters, rotate the instrument for best signal (lower false-echo
amplitude).
Auto False Echo Suppression (2.5.10.1.)
Used together with Auto False Echo Suppression Range (2.5.10.2.) to screen out false
echoes in a vessel with known obstructions. A 'learned TVT' (time varying threshold) replaces
the default TVT over a specified range. See Auto False Echo Suppression (Page 238) for a
more detailed explanation.
