CTX Sensitivity Numbers

[electricmetal21]

When the CTX is in auto sensitivity, there are two sensitivity numbers shown on the sensitivity panel on the detect screen. The green number on the right of the sensitivity panel is the suggested sensitivity that the CTX calculates and suggests using and, the white number on the left of the sensitivity panel is the sensitivity value that the CTX is currently using.

That said, why is it that when the CTX is in auto sensitivity, these two numbers don't usually match each other? You'd think that the CTX would always be setting the white sensitivity number on the left (the number its using) to the green number on the right (the suggested sensitivity number that it calculates and suggests using).

Don't know if this this question has been answered before on the forum.

I would appreciate any information you guys have on this.

Thanks

good question I was just wondering the same thing

The AUTO +? setting should have much to do with the difference as well as time lag for tasting the dirt. I think the right side is the ground reading and not the actual sensitivity setting. I only use that to gauge the ground and usually run in manual. I have a few places that it drops below 5(right side) and it seems to produce a more stable machine if I switch to seawater even though the beach is 900 miles away.

when I set it to auto plus 3 I always thought it would be the recommended number plus 3 more but when I look at the screen it is no where near that number
