  • Publication number: 20240192044
    Abstract: A measuring device for process automation in an industrial or private environment is provided, including: a sensor circuit configured to detect one or more measured variables; and a control circuit configured to determine a measurement result from the detected one or more measured variables and to determine a difference between a temperature of the sensor circuit and a reference temperature detected during a calibration of a self-test function of the measuring device, the control circuit being further configured to perform a correction of the measurement result depending on the difference between the temperature of the sensor circuit and the reference temperature during execution of the self-test function. A method for performing a correction of a measurement result of a measuring device for process automation in an industrial or private environment is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230332939
    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.
