METHOD FOR MONITORING THE CONDITION OF A MEASUREMENT SENSOR

The method of the present disclosure is used to monitor a condition of a measurement sensor comprising an oscillator, which has a measuring tube for conveying the medium, and a condition parameter dependent upon a further physical parameter. The method comprises: determining tuples containing a value of the physical parameter and an associated value of the condition parameter; assigning the tuples to a value range of the physical parameter; and forming a reference value of the condition parameter for this value range of the physical parameter using the value of the condition parameter when no valid reference value of the condition parameter for this value range is present; or comparing the value of the condition parameter of the tuple with the reference value when a reference value of the condition parameter for this value range is present; and generating a finding on the basis of the result of the comparison.
