METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DISPLAYING AN EVOLUTION OF A FILLING QUANTITY

The invention relates to a method for displaying an evolution of a measured current filling quantity (Q) of a material in a container (3) during a filling operation from a starting filling quantity (Qo) to a target filling quantity (QT), the method comprising: measuring, by measurement means (5), the measured current filling quantity (Q) in the container (3); displaying, on display means (10), a first pointer (11), the position (X) of said first pointer (11) on said display means (10) being indicative of the measured current filling quantity (Q), wherein the position (X) of said first pointer (11) on said display means (10) is a monotonic function of the measured current filling quantity (Q); wherein a pointer speed (v) of said first pointer (11) being defined as a positional change (ΔX) of said first pointer (11) on said display means (10) with respect to a change (ΔQ) of the measured current filling quantity (Q) is a strictly increasing function for at least a subrange of the measured current filling quantity (Q) in the range between the starting filling quantity (Q0) and the target filling quantity (QT), while a pointer acceleration (A) of said first pointer (11) being defined as a change (Δv) of the pointer speed (v) with respect to a change (ΔQ) of the measured current filling quantity (Q) does not cause a human perception of the displaying to include a discontinuity. Furthermore, the invention relates to an apparatus and a computer program for carrying out said method. (Fig. 1)
