A field transmitter F, a control device B is in the form of a separately portable unit linked to a field transmitter Sby radio over short ranges. This eliminates the need to make a direct visit to an inaccessible field transmitter Sfor control purposes. In addition, one control device B can be used to control a plurality of field transmitters S, S, S, A, Aby radio. In situ control, which is normally permanently integrated into the field transmitters S, S, S, A, A, can be dispensed with.

The present invention relates to a device for measuring the filling level of a filing material in a container, having a sensor and a control/evaluation unit. The invention provides a device which permits optimized determination of the filling level and/or the monitoring of the filling level in a container. For this purpose a sensor is designed such that it is operated in conjunction with at least two different measurement methods and/or the sensor is operated in at least two different operating modes, that the control/evaluation unit operates the sensor respectively according to at least one of the two measurement methods and/or at least in one of the two operating modes, and that the control/evaluation unit determines the filling level of the filling material in the container with the aid of the measured data of the sensor, which are supplied via at least one measurement method and/or during at least one operating mode.
