Standard or Pro modes. • ZERO Mode • Overview of STD Mode vs PRO Mode In its Standard (STD) Mode, the AT Pro provides a full- strength audio response regardless of a target’s amplitude. Many detectorists prefer this consistent, unambiguous, binary (either on or off) target response. The AT Pro's Standard Mode operates in this clean, binary response format in which the target's dominant conductivity is reported by a single tone. -
Page 9: Pro Detection Modes
• COINS Mode PRO DETECTION MODES Zero, Coins or Custom have the same discrimination patterns as in STD Mode. In PRO Mode, however, the AT Pro utilizes its Pro Audio functions—including Proportional Audio and Tone Roll Audio—to offer more target information. - Page 10 In contrast, PRO Mode's proportional audio provides a stronger signal for the shallow coin and a softer signal for the deeper coin. The actual profile, or signature, of the target’s response is heard, thereby providing more information. 16 Garrett Metal Detectors AT Pro™...
