Tone ID profiles

[dan93]

Can certain tones id profiles be set to no sound to discriminate?

Dan,
Not exactly...that's what the discriminate screen/pattern if for.
You can think of the tone profile as what you hear AFTER the signal makes it through the discriminate mask.

IS THIS A GENERAL QUESTION!!

or do you have a plan in mine?? if your area is blocked 4 that tone bin/area = no tone
ask away if there is more!!

 

[dan93]

Just wondering if no discrimination was used and no tone was used to discriminate instead?

 

[MINELABBOB]

EVEN IN ALL METAL = wide open there is a tone no way to turn off other than VOL. LIMIT !! turn down to 0 = no sound

hope this helps

I ALSO USE VOL.LIMIT
if it is noisey and gives my ears a break i lower not turn off !!!!!!!!!!

 

[dan93]

I thought maybe run all metal then discriminate with no tone on certain id

HI DAN-93
only thing is with no tones keep your eyes on the screen all the time, that is the only thing or your going to miss things!!!!!!!!!!!
but that is ok try diff. things, and see but then go back over with tones and see if you miss any goodies then deside.

I see where you're going...an intriguing thought, as it could have a (theoretical) performance advantage over the individual discriminate matrix method.

However, I know of no way to implement it.

I would recommend setting the bin(s) you wish (in effect) 'discriminated' to the lowest available (75hz) audio freq, and the rest pretty high...around or above 1000hz.
Your brain will be learn to ignore the extreme low tone pretty quickly. Not exactly what you're looking for...I know...but it's worth a try.

And if those 'disc bins' are in the iron range, it helps to listen to those (at some level) anyway...to keep from being fooled by those rusty nails.

Good luck and hh,
