Deus 2 - Vdi scale

confite

New member
Good morning, I am attaching an email sent to Xp, and I would like to know your opinion, and if you agree, to make the same request, I think it is coherent for everyone,
sorry for my language but I use a translator.

Good morning, some time ago I made a small comment on this subject and now after much discussion with colleagues here in Spain and especially with colleagues from the USA, we would like to transmit to you and if it is technically possible the formula to be able to expand the Vdi scale in its high zone of good conductors, since many of us come from white's (very expanded) and the Deus ll scale, makes little difference between pulll-tab, buttons and coins, even less than Deus l which could leave the frequency without normalizing at 18.
That is why we strongly ask you that in future updates it is possible to standardize as an option, the VDI to the frequency of 4, we would be happily grateful, since together with the impressive wealth of sounds of this equipment, it would make it simply "perfect".

Thank you very much for your attention and I wish you a happy day.
 
Do any multi frequency machines have normalized VDIs? It would be a nice option. My understanding is while it might be possible to do it with multifrequency machines, it would very difficult and use up a lot of computing resources.
 
Customer xp answered me very cordially, this was the result final of the conversation.


Xp.
We understand your thought and will forward it to our R&D department.
We wish you happy new year and some great finds for your next outings 🙂

Since you’ve asked for opinion.
VDI is an old Whites term.
It’s TID ( target ID ) anyway, there are so many variables involved in TID assignment to targets that I don’t think it’s possible for them to ever come up with TID assignments that will make it possible for us or anyone to dig by the numbers. Reading the eddy current signals coming back from the targets is not an exact science. Although I would enjoy knowing the targets and cherry picking as it were I think we are a long way off from this. No matter the equalization based on any frequency.
 
This subject mirrors my first impressions of the Equinox when released. Though the D2 is a “little” better in that area. I’ve adapted to all kinds of detectors and a few without any TID by trying to tune my ears. I’m an old Whites guy from 1986 and cherry picking the best conductors was easy if I was short on time. For as much as these great detectors like my D2 have advanced tech some aspects like hunting by TID alone is not practical. The ergonomics and tech of the D2 with expanded TID would be a dream for me. Confite, I am glad you sent your thoughts on this to XP 👍.

VDI (Visual Display Indicator) is still a relevant term that describes the type of detector, differentiating it from the beep and dig variety.

I disagree, TID is much more relevant to the question. I was unfortunately around when the VDI term was first out there as I said it was a Whites term and basically meant the unit had a screen instead of just knobs which a lot of detectors had. TID is much more specific to numbers which the original post is talking about. Its a granted now that virtually all but the most basic of detectors now have a screen of some sort. TID being just one of the things possibly displayed on a detector equipped with a VDI.

I'm sorry if the term VDI is not correct, but I used a translator, I doesn't speak you language and thought it was correct. The question is to expand good conductors in the number scale. Deus 2 numbers from 10 to 40 mut expanded for few signals in that range.
The great strength of D2 is its sound response, but let's not forget that by expanding the number of good conductors we also expand their sounds in multi-tones, and three, four and five tones we can adjust as we wish, adapting to the new range.

I wasn't saying it was relevant to the OP's post; I was pointing out that it is still a relevant term, not Passe as you implied (VDI is an old Whites term). Then you went right on to define the VDI detector, which is exactly what I did, albeit my post required a bit of reading comprehension.
While it's an old Whites term, what acronym would you use for a detector that displays a TID?

You obviously just want to argue. I occasionally need a reminder why I shouldn’t say anything. Thank you.
Please move out of your mom’s basement.
Get a life.
