Emulator (EMU)

The Emulator point allows the TankGate to emulate a Whessoe-Varec Model 

6820 Tank Scanning Unit (TSU). This point provides access for level, 

temperature data, and gauge status information from any type of tank gauge 

interface supported by the TankGate.

The database parameters used by the EMU point are listed and described below:

Configuration Parameters

Function

Tag

The point description can contain 30 bytes of data and can 

include any printable ASCII character.  Descriptions can be used 

as information relevant to any aspect of the point, such as its 

use, location, operating information, etc.  The default 

description is set to “EMU.00”.

LevelUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the level data. 
F: feet, m: Millimeters
M: Meters
I: Inches
P: ft-in-16ths
The LevelUnits need to match the units specified during the 

gauge setup. 

TempUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the temperature data. 
TempUnitsSpecifies the engineering units for the temperature 

data. 
F: Fahrenheit
C: Celsius
The TempUnits needs to match the units specified during the 

gauge setup. 

DensityUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the density data. 
DensityUnitsSpecifies the engineering units for the density data. 
K: kg/m3
A: API
L=lbs/cu ft
The DensityUnits needs to match the units specified during the 

gauge setup.

PntRef1 - 50

Input point reference for the EMU point to monitor.  The PntRef 

parameter is set to the Level parameter for the tank gauge point.  

The temperature will be read at the same time as the level.  The 

EMU point interfaces tank gauge interface points:
