Andy, this topic has come up before. I think it was Tjaart (Gawd I wish he would come back to the this list...) where he was measuring the level of a local river. The recent issue of Sensor Magazine has an article on the principles of level measurement. Another good resource is the Omega book set which is normally free. In particular, the "Flow and Level Handbook". I'm an old Air Force guy so submarines, and ejecting from a perfectly good aircraft, is a `foreign concept' to me ;-) http://www.sensormag.com http://www.omega.com - Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Handley New Age Communications Since '75 before "New Age" and no one around here is waiting for UFOs ;-) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
