• Signal Processing and Control (advanced users only)
The parameters in this secon (pages 24-25) are advanced factory sengs and
should not normally need adjustment.
Sensivity (0 to 100%) (40408)
Controls the level of amplicaon applied to the oat signal. The sensivity set-
ng is expressed as a percentage; 0 to 100%.
Pulses (0 to 20) (40409)
Controls the strength of the drive signal being sent down the magnetostricve
wire inside the stem. The greater the number of pulses, the stronger the drive
signal.
Blanking (0 to 10364 mm) (40410)
Sets the distance, beginning at the coil inside the upper stem, downward to the
point where the sensor will begin looking for the oat signal. If the oat enters
the blanking area it will not be detected. The blanking should never be set to
less than the top dead-band of the sensor.
Averaging (1 to 20) (40412)
Denes the number of oat readings that will be averaged together to become
the calculated reading. Each qualied oat reading (see Filter Window and
Out of Range Samples below) is placed into a rst-in, rst-out (FIFO) buer
and averaged with previous samples to generate a steady output. A higher
Averaging seng will result in smoother readings, but will also result in slower
response me to rapid level changes.
Filter Window (0 to 10364 mm) (40413)
Sets the width of the oat acceptance window. The oat acceptance window
is a zone, centered at the oat, within which any reading detected will be
considered legimate and gured into the averaging buer. Any reading
detected outside of the Window will be considered “out of range” and will
be ignored based on the seng in the Out of Range Samples parameter
(see below). The Filter Window extends both direcons from the oat. For
example, if the oat sits at 5 . and the Filter Window is set at 1 ., then any
reading detected between 4 . and 6 . will be accepted.
