Verification and Validation of GWR without Fluid
3.2 Validation of device
To validate the functionality of a device after it has been in service, it is possible to compare the
current readings to baseline readings. To obtain the current readings, follow the same steps that
were outlined under verification. A new set of files showing the configuration data and the echo
curves should be obtained and compared to the initial set.
Note
Files may be viewed offline by using the 'Backup File Reader' and 'Plot Viewer' tools that are
supplied with Rosemount Radar Master.
1. Ensure chamber is empty.
2. Take and save an echo curve of the device in the empty chamber.
3. Compare new curve to original noting the following:
Amplitude and location of reference peak
General noise floor profile
End of probe peak
Verification reflector location
4. (Optional) Perform verification reflector test and note mA output.
