Signal waveform
The signal waveform function is used to analyze the process
conditions, optimize installation and visualize false echoes for
further processing. The signal waveform is available on the
Through The Glass (TTG) version of LST300, but can also be
accessed via Enhanced Device Description (EDD) on handheld
configurators such as ABB DHH800, or on a computer using the
Device Type Manager (DTM).
In the instructions below, the signal waveform on the LST300
HMI interface is shown as an example.
Accessing the waveform display
1 Log on to the LST300 at the Standard or Advanced level.
2 Select Diagnostics from the main menu.
3 Select Waveform from the “Diagnostics” submenu.

Waveform x-axis offset — Used to scroll along the axis when
zoomed
True Echo Index — Indicates which echo is used when True Echo
Detection is used
Echo signal example
Threshold — All signals below this line are ignored and considered
noise
Waveform zoom level — Used to see more details.
The signal waveform can be selected from the “Diagnostics”
menu. It shows information about the last measured signal and
the current process values. The zoom function allows access to
more details in a specific region.
