    摘要: 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.

The apparatus has at least one mechanically oscillatable unit unit which produces a measurement signal at least dependent on the process variable. It also has at least one electronic unit which evaluates the measurement signal, and at least one function test unit associated with the electronics unit. The measurement signal passes through the electronics unit on at least one processing path, and the function text unit operates on the processing path during a function test in such a manner that a test measurement signal results from the measurement signal received by the electronics unit. The test measurement signal corresponds essentially to the measurement signal, which occurs for a predetermined value of the process variable.
