Auto Latch Mode
The Auto Latch Mode automatically selects
the FE-CO coordinates of a detected target.
This allows you to either accept or reject the
target from the Discrimination Pattern using
the Accept/Reject button.
Creating a Discrimination Pattern
using Auto Latch:
Clear the Smartfind Window:
Press the Left Shift button until the 'All
Pattern' Edit Frame is selected. Press the
Accept/Reject button once to accept the
entire Discrimination Pattern. This clears the
Smartfind Window, accepting all targets
and preparing the window for learning a
new target.
Change the size of the Edit Frame:
Press the Left Shift button to change the
Edit Frame size (Small, Medium, Large or All
Pattern). A Large frame will accept a larger
area of the Discrimination Pattern as a target
is detected. A Small frame will accept a
smaller area of the Discrimination Pattern,
but slightly altered or damaged targets may
be ignored.
To Auto Latch the target:
1 Place the target on the ground
2 Press the Right Shift button until the Auto
Latch Edit Mode is selected
3 Swing the coil several times over the
desired target until the detector confirms
the FE-CO coordinates
4 Press the Accept/Reject button once to
reject those coordinates from the Smartfind
Discrimination Pattern, press twice to
accept. If you have more than one target,
repeat the procedure for each one
5 Press the Detect button (or QuickMask
button if you wish to load the pattern into
QuickMask) once you have finished editing
6 Answer 'Yes' to the dialogue to return to
the Pattern/Digital (or QuickMask) Screen
with your new Discrimination Pattern
loaded into Smartfind
Tip: Changing the Trash Density setting (pp.
72–3) from High to Low can stabilise the
FE-CO coordinates of a detected target while
using any 'Auto' Edit Modes.
Auto Accept Mode
When a target is detected in Auto Accept
Mode, the Discrimination Pattern will be
automatically modified to accept the FE-CO
coordinates of that target.
E-Trac needs to detect the target consistently
to accept it into the Smartfind Disc. Pattern.
Creating a Discrimination Pattern
using Auto Accept:

Pattern' Edit Frame is selected. Press the
Accept/Reject button twice to reject the
entire Discrimination Pattern. This fills in the
Smartfind Window, rejecting all targets
and preparing the Window for learning a
new target.

Edit Frame size (Small, Medium, Large or
All Pattern).
To Auto Accept the target:
1 Place the target on the ground

Window. If you have more than one target,
repeat the procedure for each one
4 Press the Detect button (or QuickMask
button if you wish to load the pattern into
QuickMask) once you have finished editing
