Chuck --
I'm a new user myself, but I think I have the "user" and the "disc pattern" thing figured out. If you want to set your threshold, volume, variability on tones, etc. -- you can make these settings, and then save them, either as USER A, or USER B. For instance, I set my threshold at 9, variability at 10, conductive sounds, etc. etc. These, I saved as "USER A." As far as discrimination, THESE you set up and store in S1, S2, etc. What you are storing here is only what you see on the smartfind screen's matrix -- i.e. what is "black" (disced out) and what is "white." If you want to set one up with the disc pattern completely open (matrix all white), you could for istance save that in S1; if you want to set up another one to mimic, say, some particular levels of iron masking, you can set a disc pattern up that way, and then save it as S2, etc. etc. So, the USER settings are basically things like tones/volumes/sensitivity/threshold, etc., while the S1 through S6 slots are where you save disc. patterns.
So, here are Bryce's settings, as I understand them...
Audio/Response: Normal
Audio/Sounds: Conductive
Threshold volume: 10
Tones/Threshold/Variability: 10
Tones/Threshold/Limits: 10
Audio/Volume/Max limit: 7
Audio/Volume/Gain: 10
Recovery/Deep: Off
Recovery/Fast: Off
Sensitivity: Semi-Auto "26"
These can all be set up as "USER A." Then, I believe he runs "iron mask 22." You have two options -- you can either run the machine as "USER A" (which you have now saved with Bryce's settings), and then go to "iron mask" and set it for 22, OR, you can set up a disc program that mimics iron mask 22, and then save it as, say S1; and then run that S1 pattern with your USER A settings. Does this make sense?
