Abstract
Method of optimizing output of sensor for indicating location of metallic object. Sensor having primary electromagnetic coil to generate time varying magnetic field; secondary electromagnetic coil to detect time varying magnetic field as affected, by object to output, on basis of detected time varying magnetic field, signal indicative of location of object. Method includes steps of: supplying primary coil with alternating-current to result generated time varying magnetic field; locating object in first-position and recording signal output by secondary electromagnetic coil for range of frequencies of supplied alternating-current; locating object in second-position and recording signal output by secondary electromagnetic coil for range of frequencies of supplied alternating-current; calculating, for each of frequencies, a value for span to offset ratio of measured signals on basis of respective signals measured for object in first and second positions; determining frequency of supplied alternating-current which provides maximum span to offset ratio on basis of calculations.
