Setting Amplitude Suppression (Reject 1)

This function is normally used only in gravity-feed and pipeline applications, and is used
in conjunction with the suppression-time function described above. The amplitude-
suppression function is used to tell the detector how much amplitude suppression to
apply to the vibration signal affecting the search head. This is important because
vibrations generate a vibration signal in the search head, and these may have the same
characteristics as a contaminated product signal. As a result, the detector may interpret
vibration as contamination.
