Abstract

Metal detectors use graphical displays offering many analysis methods and user options which were not possible before. The new graphical detector displays allow new ways to display target information that enable better methods of analyzing and viewing target data. Graphical detectors have menu structures with dozens of operating parameters which can be modified by the user. Some of these parameters are able to be changed on-the-fly without having to suspend detector operation.
