ID Map
ELEMENTS OF THE ID MAP
The ID Map is made up of multiple layers of information combined into a single visualisation. It provides a simultaneous
and comprehensive overview of the discrimination settings and target information.
Targets Detected in the
Discrimination Pattern grey areas
remain silent.
Targets Detected in the white areas
will give a non-ferrous tone.
Target ID Scale 0–99
(Conductivity)
SINGLE FREQUENCY ID MAP
When operating in a single frequency, the detector
cannot gather enough target information to plot both
conductivity and ferrous properties for each target, so the
ID Map is simplified.
Non-ferrous targets will only appear along the centreline,
and ferrous targets appear along the lower left of the
vertical axis. For a Single Frequency, the Target ID is either
0 to 99 for conductive targets, or 1 to 19 with a red ferrous
indication for ferrous targets.
Ferrous Limits is disabled when operating in a single
frequency, so is not displayed on the ID Map and cannot be
edited via the Settings Menu.
This example shows the detection of a coin and a nail in Multi-IQ+, then again
using a single frequency. While the coin's Trace and ID remain very similar, the
ferrous nail appears on the far lower left when in a single frequency.

ID Map
The ID Map has a
conductive horizontal axis
and ferrous vertical axis.
The horizontal axis
correlates to the Target IDs
ranging from 1 to 99. It
indicates how conductive a
target is.
Target Trace
Detected targets generate
a black dot/smudge called a
Target Trace. Its placement
is determined by the
target's Conductive and
Ferrous properties, and its
opacity is determined by
signal strength.
Ferrous Limits
Ferrous Limits are the
upper and lower grey areas
that control whether the
target will be classified as
ferrous or non-ferrous.

Discrimination Pattern
The vertical grey columns
define which Target IDs will
be accepted, and which will
be rejected.
