Operating With the Distortion Line

If the Tracing Line’s distortion response (blurring) is disabled, the detected field will be shown with two lines,

one solid (the Tracing Line ) and one dashed (the

Distortion Line ). (The dashed Distortion Line can be separately selected to be on or off in the Display Elements menu). The dashed Distortion Line is the signal as seen by the upper antenna node and the solid Tracing Line is the signal as seen by the lower node.

Figure 65: Screen Display with Distortion Line

(Line Trace Mode)

The Tracing Line without the dynamic distortion response (blurring) still represents the location, and the direction, of the signal being traced. It still reflects changes in direction of the target utility. And it helps recognize signal distortion, when compared to the dashed Distortion Line — if something is interfering with the signal and distorting its shape, the Distortion Line could be significantly offset or skewed.

The Tracing Line represents the signal received by the lower antenna node. The Distortion Line represents the signal received by the upper antenna node. If these two do not align, or they do not reflect the same information as the Guidance Arrows about where the center of the field is, then the operator knows he is looking at some kind of distortion.

The two lines may also move randomly if a weak signal is being received, indicating that the locator circuit needs to be improved.

The balance of the Tracing Line and the Distortion line combine to give the operator much the same information as the Tracing Line with its distortion response enabled, but in a different graphical form. Advanced operators may find this more useful in discriminating the primary signal from the impact of distortion.
