Abstract
A container is scanned bottom-to-top and top-to-bottom with a capacitive sensor to detect liquid interfaces therein. The interfaces are coded, have their height stored and have their codes compared to determine the internal consistency. If consistent, the code and height information is used to sample a desired layer.
