The roll/pitch update meter displays the quality of roll/pitch data being received from
the transmitter. When the meter is empty, no roll/pitch data is being received, and
none will appear on either the receiver or the remote display. Depth and predicted
depth readings may still be taken, but the receiver will assume the transmitter has a
pitch of zero, as indicated by the image to the right appearing on the Depth or
Predicted Depth screen.

Max Mode Noise Filtering
The purpose of Max mode noise filtering is to stabilize erratic roll/pitch data, depths, and locates when drilling
at the very limit of the ability of the transmitter due to extreme depth or interference, which will vary by
jobsite.
