Problems solved by technology

However, there are two problems with this method. One is that there is often hysteresis in temperature measurement, especially in the case of large temperature changes, resulting in a mismatch of VCO curves, resulting in measurement errors

The second is that the inherent VCO characteristics of each radar transceiver are more or less different. In this case, it takes a lot of work to measure the VCO curve of each radar transceiver

There are three main problems in this way: one is the matching of the data transmission protocol and collection method between the telemetry terminal and the water level measurement equipment, which increases the difficulty of technology development and equipment debugging time; the other is that this method is not conducive to flood season and high flood Applications such as measurement that require frequent changes in measurement methods

The third is that the radar water level gauge software cannot be remotely updated and upgraded. In order to complete the function upgrade of the radar water level gauge, it is necessary to go to the site to operate
