摘要： A method for determining and/or monitoring a process variable of a medium, wherein a mechanically oscillatable unit is supplied with an exciter signal wherein a received signal coming from the mechanically oscillatable unit is received, and wherein the exciter signal is produced in such a manner, that a phase difference between the exciter signal and the received signal equals a predeterminable phase value. A criterion for judging the determining of the phase difference between the exciter signal and the received signal, or a signal dependent on the exciter signal or on the received signal, is established; in the case, in which the criterion for judging the determining of the phase difference is fulfilled, tuning of the phase difference is closed-loop controlled; and, in the alternative case, tuning of the phase difference is open-loop controlled. An apparatus associated with the method is also disclosed.

摘要： A device for operating an oscillatable unit of a vibration resonator, including a piezodrive, which is connected with the oscillatable unit, and feedback electronics. The feedback electronics excites the piezodrive to oscillate by means of a periodic exciter signal having rising and falling edges. The response signal of the piezodrive is fed back to the feedback electronics. Present additionally is at least one peak compensation unit, which removes from the response signal at least one interference signal, which results from the charge-reversal process of the piezodrive. Provided in the peak compensation unit, is at least one suppression unit having at least one switch element. The suppression unit is controlled by the exciter signal of the feedback electronics in such a manner that the piezodrive is connected conductively to ground during the rising and/or during the falling edges of the exciter signal.

摘要： A device for determining a predetermined fill level of a liquid in a container, with a sensor unit, comprising a unit capable of oscillating mechanically, a transmitter unit, and a receiver unit, which is electrically and mechanically coupled to the transmitter unit, and which transduces the oscillation of the unit capable of oscillating into an electrical receiving signal. An electronic unit, comprising a regulating unit, which regulates a phase difference that exists between the electrical transmission signal and electrical receiving signal to a determined value at which the unit capable of oscillating conducts oscillations at a resonant frequency, and which forms an oscillation circuit with the transmitter unit, receiving unit and the unit capable of oscillating. The electronic unit comprises a compensation path with a compensation unit, which for compensating additional signal components in the receiving signal, which results from the mechanical and/or electrical coupling between transmitter unit and receiver unit, at least intermittently produces a compensation signal from the transmission signal and supplies this compensation signal to the receiving signal. The compensation unit produces the compensation signal in a way such that the compensation signal is opposite to the additional signal components in the receiving signal.
