NoteThis manual does not provide any information related to the operation of the Simrad DFS75 Trawl sonar. For such information, refer to the relevant DFS75 end-user documentation.
Target audience
This manual is intended for all users of the FX80. Due to the nature of the descriptions and the level of detail provided by this manual, it is well suited for those who are
- or wish to be - expert users.
A good understanding of system functions and controls is essential to fully take advantage of the functionality provided. Sea conditions vary, sometimes drastically, and it is not possible to identify settings that will provide the best data at
all times. A careful study of the information in this manual is highly recommended, preferably while exploring the FX80 functionality.
We assume that you are familiar with the basic acoustic principles of sound in water. We also expect that you have some experience with catch monitoring systems.
