    See section on page 115 for details. The measurement registers are 41,010 to 41,012. The HydroRanger 200 uses 41,010 when configured with a single transducer and 41,010 to 41,012 when configured with two transducers (P111=4 or 5 only). Two transducers can create three readings because they can generate an average or differential reading (R41,012) as well as the two level readings (R41,010 and R41,011).

    The transmit pulse consists of one or more electrical “shot” pulses, which are supplied to the transducer connected to the HydroRanger 200 terminals. The transducer fires an acoustic “shot” for each electrical pulse supplied. After each shot is fired, sufficient time is provided for echo (shot reflection) reception before the next (if applicable) shot is fired.

    Such false echoes may rise above the default TVT curve. P838 allows you to set a distance, and P837 then instructs the HydroRanger 200 to ’learn’ where the obstructions/false echoes are within that distance. The new TVT curve is set above the false echoes, screening them out.

    The sound velocity of the transmission medium is affected by the type, temperature, and vapor pressure of the gas or vapor present.
