Another way to energize the level is to excite the outer electrodes and read from the center (see figure #5). This method will ensure that only the ratio of the impedance is measured and not the absolute value of the impedance. The electrolyte’s impedance over the desired temperature range must not cause the current through the level to exceed the maximum value. Since the impedance is inversely proportional to temperature, an increase in temperature would cause an increase in current. FIGURE #5 - AC exciting outer electrodes

The output ports of a microcontroller are a good example of a drive circuit for the level, as long as each port exhibits equal source and sink currents thus preventing any DC component to the level. The output can be sampled between each port change by an analog to digital converter.
