ICON DATA 3D metal detector logger

Product Description

The Icon Data Logger can be used with any metal detector that operates in true non motion audio mode. A true non motion metal detector does not depend on movement of the coil to generate a signal. Also, the signal will not fade out, but rather get stronger as it gets closer to the target, and will continue to sound as long as the coil remains over the target.

Some examples of traditional type metal detectors are the JW Fishers Pulse 6x or Pulse 8x, Aquapulse AQ1B, XP Deus, Whites XLT, Some *-Box style metal detectors such as Whites TM***8, Gemini III, or frame coil detectors such as Lorenz Deepmax Z1, Deepmax X3, Deepmax X5, Pulse star II, and some older / newer VCO audio style detectors.

Icon Data logger purpose is to create an image or images of the target or targets in 2D with 3D viewing ability.

Now with the Icon Data Logger unit these types of detectors can be updated with real time target imaging.

The Icon Data Logger is more than just a data logger, it is a real time imaging and on-site target analysis device. All other available metal detector data loggers currently on the market are either too bulky or too expensive or both. Also, most of them do not display the images in real time on the screen as you are operating your detector in the field. One has to scan the field first, and then connect the data logger to a PC to see the results. The Icon Data Logger displays the detected target image immediately while the user operates the metal detector in the field. No complex controls to fumble around with, no stopping to download, and no time wasted. The Icon Data unit processes hundreds of the detectors signals every second, and displays the image using the supplied software on your laptop or a tablet PC using the Icon Data software.

The Icon Data Logger is so sensitive, that it can visualize anomalies like ground voids, tombs, previously dug ground and buried foundations. All these types of voids and structures interfere with the tuning sound of the metal detector and create weak noise signals that are ignored by the detector speaker and the human ear. The Icon Data Logger amplifies these signals. Then it is the users decision to select if they wish to see the metal targets only or the ground anomalies also ( ground voids, tombs, previously dug ground and buried foundations ).

The user has full control of the scan with many available options. The user can set the grid size of the area (steps & sweep lines), the graphic mode, the coloring, target depth calculation, graph edit, save or export the image in various formats. After set-up Icon Data guides the user with voice commands to start, step and turn, can be paused or start again anytime. It even has a replay mode to replay the actual scan that had just taken place.The data collection mode can be set to automatic for flat ground surface when a constant and steady pace can be kept or set to manual for uneven surfaces for use in and around non metallic surface objects such as trees, bushes, rocks, etc.

Here are some highlights and technical specs of the Icon Data Logger:

•Icon Data Logger operation: Real time imaging step by step and data logging

•Selectable sweep direction: Left to right or right to left to be used when using small round coils.

Step by step in parallel sweep lines when using frame coils

•Computer controlled data collection Automatic Mode: Readings are captured automatically

at intervals selectable from 1 step per second to 1 step per **0 seconds.

•Manual Mode: Manual captures. Real time data graphics for both modes

•Data Points: *0.**0 scans per survey, ability to store unlimited data files on hard disk

•Data point density: Dependent on step-length, distance between measured profiles and detector coil size used (Coil sized from 4? round to *6? frame)

•Resolution: *0 Bit/5V

•Data processing: On site real time imaging, 2D and 3D target view, target depth, interpretation, filtering, modeling, replay, exporting to bmp, jpg, metafile, png and data file formats, printing.

Warranty

The Icon Data Logger comes with a manufacturers 2 year warranty on the Icon Data Logger unit only. No warranty is implied in any way on the cables or data CD. Please make sure to keep proper care of all components. The Icon Data Logger unit is currently not water resistant in any way so please keep it out of the rain and away from any water sources.
