Search systems in Phoenix
Three-dimensional ground scanning system [GROUND SCAN]
The three-dimensional ground scanning system is the most powerful detection system in Phoenix devices, it was developed with a new technology built into the scanner probe called Multi-Ground Scanner or MGS for short.
With its unique design and large surface equipped with multiple sensors, MGS allows covering and scanning larger areas in less time but with more accurate results.
The three-dimensional ground survey system displays the survey data obtained from MG as a two-dimensional image on the device screen or as a three-dimensional graphic display on the assembled Android tablet via the Multi Visual Analyzer application, as we will explain later.
After selecting the system from the main menu, the device software allows the user to choose how the scan results will be displayed. There are two options:
The device
This option, if selected, enables the user to complete the three-dimensional ground survey process using the LCD display of the device where the results will be displayed directly on the screen before the user adjusts the ground survey settings that include the following options:
Status
This option determines the method of conducting a ground survey, which means how to record measurements at each survey point. There are two modes here:
- Manual: in manual mode, the scan measurement is manually recorded by the user using the red button on the main unit of the device.
- Automatic: in this mode, the device is responsible for automatically taking measurement points
Route
It expresses the form of the trajectory of the user's movement when conducting a ground survey, there are two types:
- One-way: in this case, the survey points are recorded in each survey line in one direction. In other words, the direction of recording measurements is in a certain direction in each scanline, for example, starting from the south towards the North, and so on for each line, which means that the starting points of the scanlines are the same side.
- Zig Zag: here there is the direction of measurements in two consecutive scan lines in opposite directions, which means that the starting points of two consecutive scan lines are on opposite sides.
Size
It is a dimension of a virtual scan grid consisting of cells, related by the number of scan lines and points in each scan line. It includes the following two values:
- Width: it is the width or number of columns in the grid, the same as the number of raster lines.
- Height: it is the height or number of rows in the grid, it is equal to the number of scan points.
The starting point in Phoenix
It is the starting point for a land survey within the predefined area, one of the following options in Phoenix can be chosen:
- On the left: in this case, the scanning process starts from the lower left corner of the scanning area
- On the right: the land survey will start from the bottom right corner of the area
After setting the previously described ground scanning settings, the scan tab displays a table summarizing the selected settings with a button to start scanning, and the user can press the (OK) button to actually start the scanning process and record the results.
During the scanning process, the measurement at each scanning point in Phoenix will be visually presented on the screen as a two-dimensional grid consisting of rows and columns of cells, and each scanning point is presented as a cell with 4 subcells with specific colors based on the type of target on which MG is hovering at this point. On the left side of the screen near the grid, there are several displayed values:
- Current X: displays the current scan line number or the current column number in the grid.
- Current Y: displays the current scan point or the current row number in the grid.
- Value: a numerical value related to the measurement at the current survey point.
Tablet device
- If the user selects this option on the device screen, he must first make a wireless connection between the device and the tablet, and he must continue the three-dimensional ground survey on the supplied Android tablet.
- In this case, the user selects the same ground survey settings as described earlier, but inside the Multi Visual Analyzer application, the ground survey data is visualized as three-dimensional graphics inside the application.
- The Multi Visual Analyzer application can be installed on any Android tablet or smartphone, it has a simple graphical interface available in 12 languages, and it is used to adjust the settings for surveying the ground and scanning the transmitted data in real-time from MG to be presented in the form of 3D graphics in different colors indicating different types of targets such as metal, cavity or gold as in the previous table.
- The Multi Visual Analyzer application in the Phoenix metal detector includes a set of tools for displaying data from various viewports and tools for visually finding out the location and depth of a specific target, filters for filtering results based on specific target types.
Live streaming system [LIVE STREAM] in Phoenix device
- The live broadcast scanning system is a powerful ground scanning mode with real-time live ground scanning and direct visualization of the measurement on the monitor screen or optionally on the tablet via a multi-optical analyzer.
- The scanning process in this system is carried out by a high-signal vertical probe (V.S.T), a new probe with unique technology for direct deep scanning to detect various types of targets including ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals,, and cavities such as tunnels or caves.
- The VST is installed in front of the Phoenix main unit and should be vertical, it should always be perpendicular to the ground during the scanning process.
- At the end of the probe, there is a two-sided four-sided cone containing a set of luminous LEDs, the colors of which change during the scanning process depending on the type of target. For example: When the user moves the V probe.
- After selecting the live broadcast system from the main menu, the screen displays a screen for calibrating the V probe. Type in a similar way as shown for LED lamps, to the right of the screen the numerical value of the displayed target, here the user can change the stream speed. For example: the color is red when picking up a precious metal signal and green for ordinary ground.
- Users can also view the visualization of live streaming on tablets via Multi Visual Analyzer, in this case, they must connect the device and tablet via Bluetooth, and select Live Stream within the application.
- The multi-color Visual Analyzer application will display a variable stream of scan data received from V.S.T, there are also the colors related to the type of target in the same way.
Pin Pointer System [PINPOINTER]
The Pen Pointer system in Phoenix is a system that is usually used after prospecting in order to accurately determine the location of a potential target. The scanning process is also carried out here via the V-probe.
Pen Pointer is used to determine the presence of a metal target or cavity with the exact determination of the location where the buried metal or cavity is located via sound feedback or visualization on the screen as a two-dimensional bar graph. In the results screen there are several settings that the user can adjust in Phoenix metal detector:
Sensitivity
The sensitivity value is associated with adjusting the sensitivity of the signal captured through the V probe. S.T, according to this value, the visual representation of the signals and the tone of the audio output change.
Calibration
Users can use this option to calibrate the sensitivity of the sensor at any time according to the type of ground and ground condition.
Reset
- This option resets the calibration process to its default value.
- The visual representation of the received signals on the device screen is a two-dimensional bar graph. In the case of signals of metal targets such as bronze statues, for example, the bar graph will consist of bars facing up, of different lengths, with colors ranging from Green to red in the middle at maximum values, and then graduating towards green on the sides.
- If the signals received were for cavities-such as a tunnel - they would be made of downward-facing rods, of different lengths, ranging from Green to dark blue in the middle at the maximum values, and then graduated towards green at the minimum values.
