Application Notes

The analytic signal creates positive, body centered anomalies and also is useful in locating the edges of magnetic source bodies, particularly where remanence and/or low magnetic latitude complicates interpretation.

The analytic signal is the square root of the sum of the squares of the derivatives in the x, y, and z directions:

asig = sqrt ( dx*dx + dy*dy + dz*dz )

If the grids are to be displayed, and no map is current, an additional dialog box will appear requesting a map name.
