发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING LIQUID LEVEL USING BASELINE CHARACTERISTIC
摘要 A liquid level sensing arrangement using a probe uses a baseline probe circuit characteristic, e.g., a circuit resistance or voltage, that is measured when the probe is out of contact with the liquid in the tank. The baseline characteristic may be used to determine a liquid level in the tank, e.g., a determination whether the liquid level is below or at/above the probe. In one embodiment, the baseline characteristic may be compared to a circuit characteristic that is measured as the tank is being filled. A difference between the baseline characteristic and the other circuit characteristic may be used to determine whether or not the probe is in contact with the liquid.
