White’s Electronics Spectra VX3 - Manual (Page 7)

Page 1-1
CHAPTER
White’s VX 3 represents the latest technology in metal
detecting. The heart of VX 3 is a high-performance ARM-9
RISC microprocessor which simultaneously analyzes signals
from 3 transmitted frequencies. Those frequencies — 2.5kHz,
7.5kHz, and 22.5kHz — were chosen for their diverse
responses to a variety of metal targets, resulting in a superior
system of target analysis and identification.
The face of VX 3 is a stunning 320x240 color display with an
easy-to-use menu-driven interface. Along with three frequen-
cies, there are three search modes and a three-level Spectra-
Graph
® display which provides detailed target information for
each frequency. With a level of simplicity for the novice user
and advanced features to satisfy the experienced user, VX
3 is a
metal detector for everyone.
This manual is organized to provide progressive informa-
tion, a format that attempts to minimize information overload.
If you are a new detectorist, the QuickStart chapter will allow
you to get a quick jump on using VX
3 . Then, as you run across
new features and want to find out more, continue reading the
manual to get progressively detailed information.
If you are already familiar with high-end detectors (espe-
cially those with a menu interface), you might want to read over
the QuickStart chapter to get a feel for VX
3 ’s features. VX 3 ’s
graphical interface makes the rest easy.
While VX 3 is easy to use, it does have more features than
many other detectors, and can appear overwhelming. Don't be
intimidated! Start with the preset programs and go at your own
