pivoting of the lever arm 13, with the result that an electrical
signal is produced. The lever arm 13 is pivoted as a function
is moved from one end position into the other end position via
a corresponding device 20. During this movement, the ?lling
level sensor 8 produces a plurality of electrical signals which
are stored by the testing electronics 21 via the electrical lines
16 and the electronics 17. At the same time, the corresponding
pivoting angle is determined from the movement of the device
20, with the result that a produced electrical signal of the
?lling level sensor 8 is assigned to each pivoting angle. The
tank characteristic curve is also stored in the testing electron
ics 21, wherein the tank characteristic curve signi?es, as a

of 70 an electrical signal of 2209 is produced. A setpoint
signal of 1309 is assigned thereto, with the result that in the
case of an input signal of 2209 the electronics provide an
