Abstract: A method of configuring an electronic level gauge (ELG) includes with an ELG configuration tool including a GUI having a user interface. A processor implements an enhancement algorithm and a simulator. A tank library includes a plurality of tank shapes. The user interface receives application configuration information including a selection of a tank shape, a mounting location for positioning the ELG, and at least one process detail. The simulator generates a calculated strength of a measurement signal reflected from a surface of material in the tank for at least one level. If the calculated strength is ? a predetermined strength, proper performance of the ELG is indicated, and if the calculated strength < the predetermined strength, the ELG configuration tool prompts a change in at least one application of the configuration information to be entered on the user interface, and the simulator then recalculates the calculated strength.
