1 Introduction
SaabTankRadar Pro is a powerful radar level gauge suitable for non-contact
level measurements in process tanks, storage tanks and other types of tanks.
It is designed for easy installation and maintenance free operation.
The modular hardware and software design makes it possible to specify a
TankRadar Pro gauge that will meet your requirements now and in the
future.
The TankRadar Pro System
The TankRadar Pro gauge offers a high degree of flexibility. It can be used
as a stand-alone unit, or it can be connected to various control systems.
You can integrate TankRadar Pro in your own Local Area Network (LAN).
By using the SaabTRL/2 Bus interface you can easily connect Pro gauges
to a SaabTankRadar L/2 system.
A specially designed software package, Pro Setup, offers configuration and
service capabilities. It also includes functions for presentation of measure-
ment data.
