Glossary

accuracy
degree of conformity of a measure to a standard or a true value.
algorithm
a prescribed set of well-defined rules or processes for the solution of a problem in a finite
number of steps.
ambient temperature
the temperature of the surrounding air that comes in contact with the enclosure of the device.
Auto False-Echo Suppression
a technique used to adjust the level of a TVT curve to avoid the reading of false echoes.
Auto False-Echo Suppression Range
defines the endpoint of the TVT distance. This is used in conjunction with auto false echo
suppression.
blanking
a blind zone extending away from the reference point plus any additional shield length.The
device is programmed to ignore this zone.
confidence
describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher quality. Confidence
threshold defines the minimum value.
damping
term applied to the performance of a device to denote the manner in which the measurement
settles to its steady indication after a change in the value of the level.
