Minelab E-Trac Manual

Quickmask™
This fantastic new feature allows you to adjust the level of Ferrous and
Conductive rejection, independent of the Pattern / Digital Smartnd™
Discrimination Pattern.
Quickmask™ is a great feature for very quickly checking targets for
discrimination purposes because it is easy to do by adjusting either of the
two slider controls (Navigation Buttons described further down) to adjust
the level of Ferrous and Conductive discrimination to see where a target
“drops out at” or to allow the cursor more free movement to locate to the correct axis points of both
ferrous and conductive scales (as in 2-dimensional discrimination, the principle behind Smartnd™).
Main Menu – allows you to browse through each of the 6 Menus
Each Menu option appears below the Main Menu and the settings for each can be selected and
modied, namely:
➢ User Modes – Select / Save
➢ Discrimination – Select / Save / Edit / Combine
➢ Sensitivity – Sensitivity / Manual Level / Auto Level (A)
➢ Audio – Threshold Level / Volume Limit / Volume Gain / Response / Tone ID / Threshold Pitch
➢ Expert – Recovery Deep / Recovery Fast / Trash Density / Ground Dicult or Neutral / Noise Cancel
➢ Preferences – Contrast / Pinpoint Mode / Show Sensitivity / Show Mode Info / Display Timeout /
