Actually , I track the echo peak through the scope screen. To be able to track closer distances , I set step gain. If I can not catch it through stage1 then I go for stage 2.Hi demir,
I would suggest you try to measure echo signal strengths of the returned Echo at different angles to the plane of the Piezo.
As you may know, the ultrasonic beam is Cone shaped, so the echo strength falls as you move the 'target' away from the beam centre.
Being off the centre of the beam also slightly changes the measured distance.
The other problem is the shape/ and angle of the echo surface material effects the echo strength.
Do you know how to construct a simple test surface to check the echo distance/strength?

The issue I have with that opamp is , firstly I am having need to add an resistorto the ground at the output of opamp. Else , it does not produce output. Then , when I straight connect that output to opamp2's input since the output is well biased and them opas are in same package , I get an weird output like this in the picture. Increasing that resistors at the outputs value around 10k-75k kind of fixes it.
I used to use NE5532 and there was no such problem like this.
Now I also ordered new opas to test.
I add the circuit I use.
