Abstract
An identity of a container coupled to a content level sensor device is received. A plurality of signal parameters associated with the container is identified. The signal parameters are transmitted to the content level sensor device, wherein the signal parameters are indexed according to a level of content in the container.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a content level sensor device configured to transmit an interrogation signal within a container to measure a content fill level of the container;
- and
- a configuration device configured to:
- receive an identity of the container, wherein the content level sensor device is physically separate and remote from the configuration device that received the identity of the container, wherein the identity of the container is associated with a container type, the container type being one of a plurality of container types, the container type identifying a type of container to be engaged by the content level sensor device;
- identify a plurality of signal parameters associated with the identity of the container, wherein the plurality of signal parameters are different for a first container type and a second container type;
- and
- transmit the plurality of signal parameters to the content level sensor device, wherein a first portion of the plurality of signal parameters has been configured for measuring a first range of content levels for the container and a second portion of the plurality of signal parameters has been configured for measuring a second range of content levels for the container, and the content level sensor device is configured to transmit the interrogation signal that is based at least in part on at least a portion of the plurality of signal parameters identified specifically for the container to measure the content fill level of the container.

A method, comprising:
- receiving an identity of a container at a configuration device, wherein the configuration device is physically separate and remote from a content level sensor device, wherein the content level sensor device is configured to transmit an interrogation signal within the container to measure a content fill level of the container, wherein the identity of the container is associated with a container type, the container type being one of a plurality of container types, the container type identifying a type of container to be engaged by the content level sensor device;
- identifying a plurality of signal parameters associated with the identity of the container, wherein the plurality of signal parameters are different for a first container type and a second container type;
- and
- transmitting, using a data communication interface, the plurality of signal parameters to the content level sensor device, wherein a first portion of the plurality of signal parameters has been configured for measuring a first range of content levels for the container and a second portion of the plurality of signal parameters has been configured for measuring a second range of content levels for the container, and the content level sensor device is configured to transmit the interrogation signal that is based at least in part on at least a portion of the plurality of signal parameters identified specifically for the container to measure the content fill level of the container.
