Level alarm is not set when tank is empty
In case the product surface echo is lost in the Empty Tank Detection Area close to the tank
bottom, the device will enter Empty Tank state and an Invalid Level Alarm is triggered
(appears in the Diagnostics window).
Enable this check box if you don't want this alarm to be triggered when the gauge enters
empty tank state.
Activate Extra Echo function
The Extra Echo Detection function is used for tanks with a dome or conical bottom shape
provided the tank bottom does not produce a strong echo when the tank is empty. This
function results in more robust measurements near the tank bottom.
For tanks with a conical bottom, an echo may appear beneath the actual tank bottom
when the tank is empty. If the device is not able to detect the tank bottom this function
can be used to ensure that the device stays in empty tank state as long as this extra echo is
present.
