•

 

Stacking (scans): To reduce random or high frequency noise (static or fuzz) in your data. This value should be set 
low (3-5). The system will average together that number of scans and output the average value. 

•

 

Background Removal (scans): Remove horizontal banding in your data. This value should be set very high. The 
system will remove flat bands in the data of that many scans or higher. 

•

 

Signal Floor: Shows a visual indicator of noise levels. The shaded green area indicates an area of degraded signal in 
which some target types (weak reflectors) may not be readily visible. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•

 

Migration: Allows the computer to estimate a dielectric constant by examining the shape of the hyperbolas.  

•

 

Hilbert Transformation: Change all migrated targets from having a negative and positive polarity to just positive 
polarity. Good for giving an idea of the strength of the reflection.
