Target Identification - Minelab VANQUISH 340 User Manual

Target Identification

TARGET IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Target Identification (Target ID) numbers range from –9 to 40
with ferrous (iron) targets ranging from –9 to 0�
When a target is detected, it is represented as a number that
appears on the Target Identification Number field on the
display� This indicates the target's ferrous or non‑ferrous
properties for quick and easy identification�
For example, a US quarter has a Target ID of 29� This means
that each time a Target with an ID of 29 is detected, there is a
good chance that it will be a US quarter�
A Target ID number appears when a target is detected� This example shows
the detection of a shallow US quarter� The corresponding Target ID Segment
flashes upon detection (shown in grey)�
The last detected Target ID remains on the display for five
seconds or until another target is detected� If there is no
detection or the detector passes over a target that it rejects,
the display shows two large dashes�
Two large dashes on the Target Identification Number field when
there is no detection�

DISCRIMINATION SEGMENTS
Discrimination Segments are located along top of the LCD�
They display Target IDs grouped into zones�
Each Target Identification Number has a corresponding
Discrimination Segment that will flash when a target with that
ID is detected�
DISCRIMINATION PATTERNS
Discrimination Segments are turned on or off to either detect
or ignore targets� All segments that are on will be heard
(accepted), and all segments that are off will not be heard
(rejected)�
The combinations of accepted and rejected segments are
called Discrimination Patterns�
