The Minelab E-Trac and Explorer SE emulators are great tools. Written by Max Derouen, they are fully functional metal detector simulators that can help you become familiar with the detector's interface and menus. They also show you how the detector responds to targets. The target data used by the emulators is provided by target files; some come with the emulators, but you can also create your own. You can download the emulator software from... http://www.minelab.com/usa/products/coin-relic-detectors/e-trac?view=faq or http://www.minelabowners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22201 You may have to register if you use Minlab Owners to gain access to the file. You can also check out Max's site at... http://explorer2.free.fr/download.html .
