QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE SOFTWARE SETTINGS
FOR THE EAGLE SPECTRUM, XLT AND DFX DETECTORS
QUESTION: 
When do I adjust Target Volume?  Do I need a different setting for each program I use?

ANSWER:  You set Target volume when designing or installing a program.  Target volume; controls the volume of the signal coming to your ears from any given target the loop passes over. Set to your own personal noise tolerance as soon as you know how, set too loud and it will be very uncomfortable on your ears, set too low and you can miss deep target signals.  If you have good hearing lower numbers are best, if you have poor hearing higher numbers are best. No there is no point in having a different setting for different programs, once you have selected a setting that you are happy with, and it is comfortable on your ears, stick with it and install it in every program you use. This facility works the same in the Eagle Spectrum, XLT, and DFX Detectors.

QUESTION:
When do I adjust Tone Audio Threshold? Do I need a different setting for each program I use?

ANSWER: You set Tone Audio Threshold when designing or installing a program. Threshold Tone; is the buzz you get from the electronics of your detector.  Again set as soon as you know how, set too high and it will be uncomfortable, set too low and you can't hear it. Always set for a continuous steady low buzz, Threshold Tone gives the operator a lot of information.  When the tone goes quite known as nulling it is telling you the loop has passed over some iron, or if the tone is erratic, or rising or falling when no iron is present the sensitivity settings of the detector is too high. No again there is no point in having a different setting for different programs, once you have selected a setting that you are happy with, and it is comfortable on your ears, again stick with it and install it in every program you use. This facility works the same in the Eagle Spectrum, XLT, and DFX Detectors.
