Notice the segment status along the arc, and the discrimination parameters

they represent, vary as you adjust the discrimination level with 

+

or 

-

.

For DISC values (at bottom right-hand corner of screen) up to 40:

- operation is 

tone discrimination

only

• No targets are eliminated from detection

- Target-IDs less than the DISC value induce a LoW tone

• represented by 

shaded

segments

- Target-IDs greater than the DISC value induce V.C.o. audio

• represented by 

solid 

segments

for DISC values between 41 and 79:

- Targets in the 

blank 

segment region are not detected.

- Target-IDs less than the DISC value induce a LoW tone

      • represented by 

shaded 

segments

- Target-IDs greater than or equal to the DISC value induce V.C.o. audio

      • represented by 

solid 

segments

at DISC value = 80:

- All detected targets induce HIGH tones.

• represented by 

solid 

segments

- There are no LoW tones

No targets under 80 are detected.

Here is an example of one possible setting:

This discrimination interface for the Gold Bug

®

Pro was designed especially for

relic-hunting.

relic hunters want control over what sizes of iron are detected, and also control

over which targets are detected with a low-tone. Target values of 40 or less are

ferrous.

This value

and higher

will induce

V.C.O.

 tones

Values less

than 20 will

NOT BE
DETECTED

Values from 20 to 49

will induce a 

LOW 

tone

Values from 50 to 100

will induce 

V.C.O. 

tones

 (see p. 25)

OPERATING  IN  DISCRIMINATION  MODE

In Discrimination Mode, pressing 

+

or 

will change two detection parameters:

1.Tone Identification

2.Target Elimination

As the level of discrimination changes, the target segments along the arc on

the screen will be displayed in one of three states:

1. Blank (no segments displayed)

2. Grey (segments displayed in a shaded color)

3. Black (segments are solid black)

The segments along the arc will remain illuminated in this state as you are

pressing 

+

or 

.

This displays your chosen target discrimination parameters.

At any time during operation, you can view the discrimination settings in one of

two ways:

1. on the bottom-right of the screen the DISC value is always illuminated.

a. This value is the division between the LoW tones and V.C.o. tones.

b. This value is the lowest target value which will be detected with a

    V.C.o. tone.

2. Whenever  you  press 

+

or 

,  the  arc  will  illuminate  and  show  your

current detection parameters.

The first press of 

+

or 

will change the discriminate level by one value.

When a target is detected, the rectangular segments representing the target

category are illuminated.

Discrimination Control continued on next page

OPERATING  IN  DISCRIMINATION  MODE

Suggestion:   

Try  changing  the

settings,  watch  the  screen,  and

pass objects over the searchcoil at

each setting. It will quickly become

obvious how these controls work.
