indicate a target's probable identity, with Ferrous (iron) 
targets at the left, non-ferrous targets that are thin or have 
low conductivity in the middle, and thick or high conductivity 
targets (e�g� thick silver) at the right�

with lighted pixels indicating accepted targets and blank 
pixels indicating rejected targets�
