TTF, TTC, 4TF, and 4TC - E-Trac Setup Visualizations March 24, 2013 05:46AM |
Posted this on another forum for E-Trac newbies - since most here are already well versed, it is old news. But for the sake of those who care ...
Sometimes it is easier to understand what the different Audio Tone IDs do if they are displayed in a visual format. Below are the Audio Tone IDs that you can choose on the E-Trac, each with explanation of how to use them (with some subjective input). The visualizations show the TID grid with Ferrous running top-to-bottom from 1-35 and Conduct running from 1-50 left-to-right, same as the E-Trac. If you are new to the E-Trac study these displays so you can better determine which Audio Tone ID to choose.
The display is divided into two or four audio zones, each with their corresponding color. Suggested discrimination areas (DISC) are in lined dark red shading. The light-grey hatched areas represent non-ferrous target rich areas, zones where a target response is likely to be something of value.
The horizontal grey stripe at 12Fe is the "Ideal Non-Ferrous Zone". That is, it is where the majority of good non-ferrous targets would lay if not for down averaging by mineralized soil, iron contamination, and the conduction loss via oxidation/decomposition in targets buried for long periods. The grey stripe is just for reference.
The orange and green stripes are visual examples tied to the narrative explaining how that Audio Tone ID would respond along that vertical stripe. In other words, if a real target bounced up-down along the Fe scale in the orange or green stripe area, what would you expect to hear in the audio tone. This is done so you can think about how each Audio Tone setup affects the target audio.
There are narrative overviews of how the tones can be used or altered with judicial use of DISC to give more intelligent meaning to the audio. Everyone will have different setups for their particular hunting style and sought targets, so these are only suggestions.
