6.3.2 Operating steps for advanced settings Some material characteristics may be similar in terms of sensor attached and full coverage sensitivity changes. Therefore, material characteristics can also be determined by increasing the amplitude via advanced settings. In general, materials that require the use of advanced settings are mainly for high viscosity characteristics (such as catchup, chocolate syrup) and two-level detection (such as oil/water).
