Abstract

A radar level indicator comprising a processor, an analogue-digital converter circuit and an intermediate memory connected therebetween. The intermediate memory is configured to receive digital signals from the analogue-digital converter circuit at a first data rate. The processor is configured to read out the intermediate memory at a second data rate that is different from the first data rate. It is thus possible to reduce the transmission time while maintaining the same energy requirement.
