Abstract:
For determining the topology of a bulk material surface, a series of echo curves are detected in different primary radiation directions of the antenna. In the process, the primary radiation direction of the antenna is changed in such a way that all of the generated echo curves of the series of echo curves can be used for determining the topology of the bulk material surface. As a result, the measurement time can be reduced.

Claim (Index 17):
The measurement device according to  claim 16 , wherein the positioning device includes a control system which is configured to:\n determine a first topology of the surface of the bulk material, based on a first number of echo curve generations; determine a fill level in the container; determine a maximum angle of the primary radiation direction of the antenna arrangement with respect to a vertical axis as a function of the fill level; and determine a second topology of the surface of the bulk material, based on a reduced second number of echo curve generations, in which the number of echo curves relating to a primary radiation direction of the antenna arrangement above the maximum angle is reduced.
