    Program spreadsheet

    This file is fallout from the V3i spreadsheet (not done). I wanted to have a graphical method of inputting a discrimination pattern without having to select a bunch of numbers. Think of it as a glorified version of the VDI Select By Graph functionality combined with a programmed version of the...

    Program spreadsheet

    Hi Bill, The current spreadsheet is only for the V3, but most of the settings are the same as the V3i. Some settings are missing, some are new and some have different value ranges. The V3i spreadsheet is being worked on at the moment. The Coin program was in the default loaded programs in...

    Coin on Edge

    All detectors I have tested have problems when the sweep is parallel to the coin and do best when perpendicular to the coin. All angles inbetween will give signals that may need to be more fully investigated (by circling the target).

    Test Garden

    There's a lot of data out there, but it depends on how much work you want to do. Optimally, you would want good and bad targets as well as solitary and contaminated targets. You would want these combinations at various depths. You can always do a subset, like 'silver coins at 4, 6, 8 and 10...

    Audio setting dependencies

    The following dependencies exist among the audio settings (changes are made automatically and/or your selections are limited based upon Threshold Volume)... Target Volume must always be at least Threshold Volume + 8 If Threshold Volume + 8 > 69 Then Target Volume = 69 and Threshold Volume =...

    Audio setting dependencies

    There is also a dependency between Audio Boost and Volume for Stereo Mixed Mode as well, I think, which would make sense. I don't know if this stuff is in the manual or posted somewhere, but I guess I'll start looking around...thought I'd ask first.

    Audio setting dependencies

    Does anyone know exactly how the dependencies between audio settings works? It looks like volume is automatically set so that it is above the threshold, for instance, but I'd be interested in the settings involved and their mathematical relationships if anyone knows. :shrug: (for the V3i)

    Program spreadsheet

    Since this spreadsheet will be quite a bit different, it's going to be a version 1.0. It's homepage is http://www.thebeepgoeson.com/display.asp?page=V3i_Programs.

    Common exclude categories

    It wasn't too bad since I had the V3 file already. This info is also posted at http://www.thebeepgoeson.com/display.asp?page=V3i_Excludes. Any updates or corrections will be posted there.

    Common exclude categories

    To finish the V3i spreadsheet and utilize similar Common functionality (like the machine), the Exclude category settings had to be determined. This information will be color-coded into the new spreadsheet and used in background processing. I thought it was important to know exactly which...

    Program spreadsheet

    I have looked at the V3i and it is quite different. It might take a while, but this is the plan: Common will have its own tab and settings will be able to be propagated to any or all programs according to Common Exclude rules (by selecting the desired programs and clicking a button). The...

    PROFIT or KARMA... What Would You Do ???

    I used the ATM at the bank the other day and it gave me $20 extra. No-brainer...went in and had them check my account to make sure it said the correct amount withdrawn and then gave back the $20. I don't think anyone had done that before judging by their reaction. Not really a test...if I...

    Program spreadsheet

    Got the i back today. Will be checking it out and creating version 2.0i of the spreadsheet.

    3 Hrs. of hunting kicked my tail!

    Sounds like a fun good deed. Are you discriminating everything but the low numbers? Finding that thing with no discrimination would be tough, and it may be on the edge of detection depending on the size. Maybe you could find a similar one and test it.

    PROFIT or KARMA... What Would You Do ???

    It would have to be a heck of a lot more than $36 to endanger my karma...good job.

    I have come to the conclusion that the V3 can easily be messed up by tweaking...

    With so many settings it is difficult to keep track of which tweak did what. You could take the program spreadsheet and change the cell background color on the settings you change and then, perhaps, document the results in the comment fields on the right. As time went by you'd end up with...

    Program spreadsheet

    I have the unit ready to send in, but can't find the dang receipt. I will talk to the dealer tomorrow (Mon) and have them send me a copy. I am sending it to EE. So...about a month for the i version of the spreadsheet to be ready.

    High VDI pennies

    Hi Gil - You're probably hitting copper memorials (Cu 95%, Tin/Zn 5%) that usually read around the same as a clad dime. I'd need to know more about your settings and ground to make any further (meaningful) comments.

    COOL Coil ?

    Quite a list of chemicals in that paint. If I were to do something like that I would look for something more natural, even washable. I have an idea for a product that would provide heat protection as a side benefit, but I'll keep that to myself for now :| Acetone Liquefied Petroleum Gas...
