1. US20090284269 - Apparatus for ascertaining and/or monitoring a process variable

An apparatus for ascertaining and/or monitoring a process variable. The apparatus includes a sensor element, and at least one electronics unit, which, for measuring the process variable, supplies the sensor element with an electrical exciter signal, receives an electrical measurement signal from the sensor element and evaluates the measurement signal with respect to the process variable. An analog-digital converter is provided in the electronics unit. For measuring the process variable, the electronics unit supplies the sensor element with a first exciter signal and a second exciter signal, timewise one after the other, in such a manner, that the first exciter signal and the second exciter signal have a settable phase (φ)relative to one another.
