Weather data dependent fill level sensor query

摘要

An embodiment of the invention relates to a measuring device arrangement with a measuring device for measuring a distance to an object, for example in the form of a level measurement. A control unit is provided which calculates the time for the next distance measurement taking into account a current or predicted weather situation at the location of the measuring device. This allows the frequency of the measurement to be adjusted to the weather conditions to reduce the energy consumption of the meter, without having to do without timely level change messages.
