Abstract: A level-measuring device, for determining a level of a medium is described, with an evaluation unit, that generates a measuring signal for determining the level based on a digitally converted signal of a reflected signal emitted from the level-measuring device toward the medium, wherein the level is determined based on a characteristic feature of the measuring signal; and that monitors, by way of a monitoring function, the determination of the level based on the characteristic feature and wherein the monitoring function selectively has at least one of a higher quality level and a lower quality level to the determination of the level.

Abstract: A measuring device for process automation in an industrial environment is provided, the measuring device including: a first sensor device configured to detect a process variable; a position detection device configured to detect a position of the measuring device; a second sensor device configured to acquire environmental data; and a controller configured to analyze the acquired environmental data, determine, based on the analysis, whether or not a current position of the measuring device should be detected, and instruct the position detection device to detect the current position of the measuring device when the analysis of the environmental data has determined that the current position should be detected. A method for determining a position of a measuring device is also provided.

Abstract: A radar fill level measurement device for determining a fill level of a medium is provided, including a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal towards the medium; a receiver configured to receive a reception signal reflected by the medium; and a controller configured to determine the fill level of the medium based on the reception signal and based on at least one evaluation parameter, the radar fill level measurement device being configured to vary a transmitting power of the transmission signal, the controller being further configured to determine a current transmitting power of the transmission signal, and the controller being further configured to vary, based on the determined current transmitting power, a value of the at least one evaluation parameter and/or at least one measurement signal that correlates with the reception signal, such that the fill level is determined taking into account the transmitting power.
