1. A system, comprising:
a fill level measuring device for measuring the fill level of a medium in a container; and
at least one attachment;
wherein the fill level measuring device has a control and evaluation unit for generating a measurement signal and a process connection element;
wherein the process connection element has a transmission element on a medium side;
wherein the transmission element is at least partially permeable to the measurement signal;
wherein the at least one attachment is connected to the process connection element;
wherein the at least one attachment has, on the medium side, an attachment lens for coupling the measurement signal into the container;
wherein the attachment lens is designed and, during operation, arranged after the transmission element in the propagation direction of the measurement signal in such a way that the attachment lens changes the opening angle of the measurement signal;
wherein the connection between the process connection element and the at least one attachment is a detachable connection;
wherein the connection is at least one of a non-positive connection and a positive connection; and
wherein the connection is a threaded connection, a latching connection, or a flange connection.
