Description
Return water elevation and depth from a sensor datum.
Aquaculture estimates expand supplied samples, classify explicit counts and compare measurements with caller-chosen references. A zero placeholder or split count is a reporting result rather than evidence of absence or a biological diagnosis. Sampling representativeness and actual animal conditions require separate assessment.
Return water elevation and depth from a sensor datum.
When to use this tool
Use Tank Level Sensor Datum Gap when checking the stated aquaculture estimate, class or record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter sensorReading, sensorDatum, tankBottom, referenceOffset. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read waterElevation, depth. Use the output convention below.
Return water elevation and depth from a sensor datum. elevation = sensorReading+sensorDatum+referenceOffset, depth = elevation-tankBottom.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| sensorReading | Sensor Reading | Required. Finite number. |
| sensorDatum | Sensor Datum | Required. Finite number. |
| tankBottom | Tank Bottom | Required. Finite number. |
| referenceOffset | Reference Offset | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| waterElevation | Water Elevation | Required. Finite number. |
| depth | Depth | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative depth is retained; all coordinates need a common datum and no actual sensor calibration or safe water level is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated representative measurements and an appropriate complete statistical or husbandry assessment with qualified professionals.
