Ghost Radar Illustrated

1
The three lights represent how "warmed up" the app is. Once all three lights are lit then the app should have determined what is normal for your environment.

2
This section of letters is for intelligent entities to try to communicate with by influencing the readings to select letters. Dashes "-" indicate no activity. Dots "." indicate activity is very strong.

3
Ghost Radar attempts to translate the sensor readings into a spoken word. Ideally the entities you are trying to interact with can manipulate the sensors and have Ghost Radar speak their words. The spoken word is displayed in this section. Supported language localizations are available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese.

This is a small radar symbol used to represent the current setting of the Scan Frequency. When the Scan Frequency is high this small radar will pulsate quickly. When it's low the radar will pulsate slowly.

5
The three sets of numbers at the top are raw data coming into the device. Basically all the readings are distilled down to three main numbers. The three lines in the graph represent those three numbers. When those lines/numbers change quickly it indicates a change in the energies around the device.

Use this button if you would like to send yourself a transcript of your adventures.

Press this small "i" to access settings and help. This "i" is only available on the iPhone/iPod touch platform. For the Android platform press the phone's "menu" button, usually a physical button on the bottom of the phone.

The Level meter gives and indication of when things are happening. The scrolling letters on the bottom are picked based on a combination of certain readings.

Tune in to your flux by changing the Sensitivity with this knob. Modify the settings to eliminate the noise in your hunting grounds. Choose the sensitivity of the radar; Low, Medium, or High. A highly sensitive radar may give many false readings due to the noise in your environment.

For Advanced settings:

To change how often a reading of the flux is made change the Scan Frequency. The range is from about 1 reading per second to about 60 times per second. Decreasing the Scan Frequency can eliminate false readings in a noisy environment.

The Duplicate Detection Threshold can be changed to adjust for rapid readings that detect the same entity. A longer threshold will decrease the likelihood of detecting the same signal multiple times.

Display Impedance is the setting that allows you to change how often the radar blips are updated. Increase the impedance to have your radar update slower. Each time the display is updated the flux readings are analysed and the readouts are refreshed.

If the blip you are tracking has not been seen for a certain amount of time it will be removed from the radar. This time is controlled by the Signal Timeout setting. Decrease the timeout to have the blips removed as soon as possible.

The flux readings are stored in a series of containers before they are interpreted as a signal that needs to be displayed. You can increase the number of containers by increasing the Signal Capacitance setting. Increasing the capacitance can help eliminate false readings by requiring a larger number of hits to be read.
