Mounting type
Select option best describing how transmitter is mounted on the tank. There are four

Inner diameter, pipe/chamber
Enter the inner diameter for the pipe or chamber in which the antenna is mounted. The
inner diameter value is used to compensate for the lower microwave propagation speed
inside the pipe/chamber. An incorrect value will give a scale factor error.

Select a tank shape that corresponds to the actual tank. If the actual tank does not match
one of the pre-defined tank shapes, then select Other (e.g. level measurements of sumps,
basins, or ponds).
