Figure 6 – Common Display Elements
The display screen in Sonde, Active Line Trace or Passive Line Trace mode will show the following features:
,
Signal Angle Indicator – Angle toward the field’s center graphically displayed; numeric value dis- played below the graphic.
Battery Level – Indicates level of battery power.
Measured Depth/Distance – Displays the mea- sured depth when receiver is touching the ground directly over signal source. Displays computed distance when the antenna mast is pointed at signal source in some other manner. Displays feet/inches (U.S.A. default) or meters (European default).
NOTE! Measured Depth is a computed number which

Figure 8 – Display Elements (Line Trace Mode)
In Active Line Trace Mode the following features will also be displayed:
Proximity Signal – A numerical indication showing how close the signal source is to the locator. Displays from 1 to 999 (Line Trace modes only).
Signal Strength – Strength of signal as sensed by the lower Omnidirectional antenna.
Distortion Line (Upper Antenna Signal) – shows the apparent direction of the field as detected at the upper antenna. If out of alignment with the Tracing line, indicates a distorted field.
