Selecting the Quadrature Noise-Reduction Filter
The default setting for the quadrature noise-reduction (QNR) filter is off, as indicated by
the X in the QNR menu below. The QNR filter is often used when testing wet products,
where it reduces 1) the background noise, and 2) the number of uncontaminated units
of product that are erroneously rejected as contaminated due to vibration. Occasionally
the QNR filter is used when testing dry products, where it lowers the detect level and
increases the ability of the search head to detect metals. The QNR filter can be used in
conjunction with the CLX and PNR filters, if needed.
