First Claim
Patent Images
1. A test apparatus for a waveguide that senses level in a container, the test apparatus comprising:
- a bridge having a test position in which the bridge bridges the waveguide to simulate a simulated level, and having a storage position in which the bridge does not bridge the waveguide; and
an actuator coupled to the bridge to move the bridge between the test position and the storage position.

Abstract
A test apparatus for a waveguide that senses levels in a container. The test apparatus includes a bridge with a test position where the bridge bridges the waveguide to simulate a simulated level. The bridge also has a storage position. The test apparatus also has an actuator coupled to the bridge that moves the bridge between the test and storage positions.
