Testing Level Measurement Devices by Imitating Sensor Signals

Abstract

Testing of level measurement devices is a very important process. Many of these devices use electric signals acquired from sensor modules in real environment. That is why throughout this paper a concept and correspondent tool for artificial synthesizing and replaying of such signals is developed. Benefits of the work include new possibilities for testing devices in more realistic conditions with controlled arbitrary sensor input, demonstrating level measurement process without actual environment and improving process of educating the personal by simplifying the learning curve of device functionality and level recognition algorithms.
