Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC1000
Hello,
I am currently working on a projekt where I am tried to measure the level of water in a Tank and concentration using the TDC1000 EVM and Transducer. So far the setup and understanding of the GUI are working fine, but I have following problems.
1. The calculated distance with the input of the TOF doesnt match my measured fluid level. I am always off by about 2-3mm from my measured level and the more fluid the less this offset seems there seems to be. I have tried to change the parameters to get a more accurate calculation but havent been successful. Is it possible to delay the time of the recieved echo or change another parameter to get a more exact reading?
2.When measuring with one set of parameters from 5cm to about 19cm, I get a sudden and repetative signal loss. How come this happens? Is the echo signal to strong or to weak to create a Stop signal?
I hope that I will be able to get some answers.
Alex
