Abstract
A fill level measurement arrangement for determining a level or volume of a filling material in a mobile container, including a first sensor, for distance measurement, a second sensor, for position measurement, and evaluation circuitry, that determines by analysis of the position measurement or the position measurement whether the mobile container has been moved since a previous measurement of the level, and that applies a first calculation rule in the subsequent calculation of the level or the volume if the mobile container has been moved since a previous measurement, whether the mobile container has been moved since a previous measurement, and in the subsequent calculation of the filling level or the volume from the distance measurement that applies a first calculation rule if the mobile container has been moved since the previous measurement and a second calculation rule if the mobile container has not been moved since the previous measurement.
