+IFM KQ1001 Level Sensor Agent
+==========================
+
+The IFM KQ1001 Level Sensor Agent is an OCS Agent which monitors the
+fluid level in percent reported by the sensor.  The agent also records
+the device status of the KQ1001 sensor.  Monitoring is performed by
+connecting the level sensor device to an IO-Link master device from
+the same company; the querying of level sensor data is done via HTTP
+requests to the IO-Link master.

+Configuration File Examples
+---------------------------
+
+Below are configuration examples for the ocs config file and for running the
+Agent in a docker container.
+
+OCS Site Config
+```````````````
+
+To configure the IFM KQ1001 Level Sensor Agent we need to add a
+LevelSensorAgent block to our ocs configuration file. Here is an
+example configuration block using all of the available arguments::
+
+      {'agent-class': 'LevelSensorAgent',
+       'instance-id': 'level',
+       'arguments': [['--ip-address', '10.10.10.159'],
+                     ['--daq-port', '2']]},
+
+.. note::
+    The ``--ip-address`` argument should use the IP address of the IO-Link
+    master.
+
+Docker Compose
+``````````````
+
+The IFM KQ1001 Level Sensor Agent should be configured to run in a
+Docker container. An example docker compose service configuration is
+shown here::
+
+  ocs-level:
+    image: simonsobs/socs:latest
+    hostname: ocs-docker
+    network_mode: "host"
+    volumes:
+      - ${OCS_CONFIG_DIR}:/config:ro
+    environment:
+      - INSTANCE_ID=level
+      - SITE_HUB=ws://127.0.0.1:8001/ws
+      - SITE_HTTP=http://127.0.0.1:8001/call
+      - LOGLEVEL=info
+
+The ``LOGLEVEL`` environment variable can be used to set the log level for
+debugging. The default level is "info".
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The KQ1001 Level Sensor is a device from IFM Electronic, and can be
+used to monitor the level of a process fluid (like water) in a
+nonconductive tank through the tank wall.  The sensor can be
+noninvasively taped to the outside of the tank.  The sensor must be
+calibrated to the tank before it can report level readings.  The
+calibration is best if performed on the tank when it is empty or full,
+but can also be performed if the tank is partially full.  For more
+information on the calibration, see the operating instructions for the
+KQ1001, available on the IFM website.  The Agent communicates with the
+level sensor via an AL1340 IFM Electronic device--an IO-Link master
+from which the agent makes HTTP requests. The level sensor plugs into
+1 of 4 ports on the IO-Link master, and the agent queries data
+directly from that IO-Link master port.  This is only possible when an
+ethernet connection is established via the IO-Link master's IoT port.
+
+IO-Link Master Network
+```````````````````````
+Once plugged into the IoT port on your IO-Link master, the IP address of the
+IO-Link master is automatically set by a DHCP server in the network. If no DHCP
+server is reached, the IP address is automatically assigned to the factory setting
+for the IoT port (169.254.X.X).
+
+IO-Link Visualization Software
+```````````````````````````````
+A Windows software called LR Device exists for parameter setting and visualization
+of IO-Link master and device data. The software download link is below should the
+user need it for changing settings on the IO-Link master. On the LR Device software
+panel, click the 'read from device' button on the upper right (leftmost IOLINK
+button); the software will then search for the IO-Link master. Once found, it will
+inform the user of the IO-Link master model number (AL1340) and its IP address.
