Inside the unit various settings select the best BG usage. Typically the
setting selected means the BG reference level is being continually
updated to utilize the best levels.
The reason this is important is only for AUDIO surveying because as
noted above the local BG is used to select the threshold level that the
audio SURVEY tool uses to enable its audio.
A key problem here is best explained with an example, using the figure below. The example shows a
FIELD condition. In this example for simplicity the device is being used to locate radioactive material in
three AREAS of Interest:
