Numeric I.D. Averaging Function on Coin$trike
- Thread starter onpoint
- Start date
When it is turned on it takes an average reading of the target it see's under the coil, and reports it on the VDI screen. When turned off, the unit reports a reading in real time, (instant), and does not report it to the screen as a average.
Example of use: Detecting in a trashy site with many targets, you may want to set it to "off" so you can try, and get a reading on all targets that respond. If you have it set to "on", it is going to average out the targets it see's, and report that figure. You may not want to have it do that.
With it off, the target numbers will jump around a bit, because it's reading instantly. Target reading will be more steady in the averaging mode.
They certainly didn't write up much about that function in the manual. It is a cut & dry adjustment based on your personal preferences, but a little more explanation would have helped.

Many thanks Mr. Bill for this info,
Could I ask an other Question ?
I went out today for the first time and my coin$trike readout started going erratic up & down, This happened when I was in disc & all metal mode. (I was using 525 settings) It even happened
when I held the Detector up in the air !
I was quite close to a Train line, ( 100 feet or so ) Could this be the reason for this erratic behavior ? I then gave up and went home :sad: because I didn't know what to do about it and
thought I would ask some one on this forum.

OK, it's simple, the CS has a frequency that is speculated to be around 5khz. So like almost all low frequency machines
it won't run around electrical interference (RF). This will often include hi-tension transmission lines, transformers,
grounded pipes, telephone lines, electric train rails, CB radios, Ham radios, short hop microwave and just
about anything that spews RF. I can't use the CS in most urban areas, but I mostly hunt relics in the country
so that works out.
You can get a second detector that uses a high frequency or dual frequency to run around RF.
I use an Fisher made X5 for this, but fisher CZs would fill this criteria too. There are many units out
there with frequencies above 12khz that behave well around RF.
