Scans / Second

Scans per second is default set at 5, for normal walking speed of scan (how fast you travel). 
The highest setting of 10 would be for running or vehicle speed scanning.

High and Low Value

The high and low value is default set at 15 and -15 and can be changed for the strength of the  
target. The value settings are: Low = 10/-10, Med. = 25/-25 and High = 50/-50, the arrow 
boxes next to the value squares fine tune to precise numbers. Clicking on the default value 
returns the values to the default settings. For the weaker targets the high and low settings 
(under options) can be decreased to detect the weaker targets  (example 10/-10 or 5/-5 for 
even weaker targets). The stronger targets dictate raising the values to separate the 
surrounding background from the target. 
The high and low data readings capture the highest or lowest signals for that scan. While 
scanning a small difference in the numbers can mean a target is detected. 

 Current

The current reading is where the antenna is reading at the time. The current (current signal 
strength) reading can assist in relocating the highest / lowest reading point (or target). The 
highest and lowest numbers captured as data readings can be matched with the current 
reading to relocate or confirm target. The color bar is indicating the current reading also. 

Monitor Indicators

The colors indicate: Green as ground  or background targets. Blue indicates weak targets 
such as voids, tunnels, caves and possible non-ferrous metals. Yellow / Orange indicates 
medium targets or the edge of a strong target. Red is a strong target such as ferrous metals. If 
a weak target isn't indicated in red on the monitor then lowering the values will result in 
showing the target colors.

STATUS BAR

Indicates the connected or not connected status of the antenna.

 

Current Reading - Current signal strength at the current location.
HIGH/LOW - Lowest and Highest signal strength for that scan.
Sensitivity Options - To pick up weaker targets set these values 
                          lower: Example 10/-10 or 5/-5 for even weaker targets.
SPS - Number of scans per second, increase for faster traveling.
Default - Resets sensitivity values back to preset.
Status Bar - Connected / Not Connected status.

Red - Strong Targets 
(metal chest, metal pipes)

Green - Background 
Targets (common ground) 

Blue - Weak Target 
(void, cave or tunnel)
