Best Data or Correlate

[ronv3]

Say Im getting ready to Hunt, I do my ground balance , I also check from pinpoint mode my frequencies to make sure all is quiet. If after adjusting my offset, and find only 1 freq is the quietest (example 2.5) do I go out of 3 freq best data to Correlate 2.5...or or can you run 3 Freq Best data and select 2.5? Thank You Ron

As far as I understand it best data uses 3 frequencies, correlate uses 2 frequencies and single frequency uses the one frequency of your choice.
If only one frequency is quiet and thats the way you want to go then you must choose one of the 3.

Correlate actually uses all 3 frequencies. It is looking for any 2 of those frequencies to fall within the span limits and excepted range. It will then elicit a response based on those 2 frequencies. Correlate does better in my opinion in high EMI situations due to the broad erratic response patterns that typically produced by the EMI.

I see Jack, I guess what IM asking is if I decide to use 1 freq, 2.5, do I need to select best data or correlate under 3 frequencies ? Or neither? just the 2.5.

[CyberSage]

You just select the single frequency 2.5, 7.5, or 22.5

In general the higher the frequency the better it will deal with EMI.

Thanks jack, and Thanks for the Book of Jack, its awesome

When using a single frequency on the machine best data and correlate is not a option as these two feature are only available when using the 3 frequencies modes. As the only response the machine will get will be from the single frequency when using a single frequency.

Always great to see your post Bob. Thanks for the input.

Thats what I meant, it uses the two hardest hitting frequencies for it's calculation

I presume there's no depth gain after the 2 of the 3 freqs are down selected. Right? You are still consuming power with all three frequencies. martin

Thank You all.......muddy water keeps getting clearer

ive wondered about correlate vs best data . good info guys , thanks everyone
