Calibration views
The different views provided display the relevant information to monitor the calibration of the selected beam mode. The best quality of the calibration will rely on several target strength detections for each beam. The layout of the beams for a selected beam mode is shown in a dedicated view. Small circles in the different beams show the accepted target strength detections and their positions During the calibration the history of the movement of the sphere is displayed and detailed target strength data and results will be continuously updated.

The Calibration program's main dialog box provides a menu system and four information fields. The information fields provide relevant system parameters and the detected target strength data. The four information fields are identified.
A Selected beam
The Selected beam information field displays more detailed information regarding a selected beam. It displays the selected beam, the target strength compensation, which is a projection of the selected beam, and the depth position of the target for the current ping. A beam can be selected in a number of the information fields in the Calibration dialog box.
B Beam List
The Beam List displays the channel identifiers for each beam in the beam mode.
C Beam mode
The Beam Mode information field illustrates the layout of the current beam mode. This view includes the positions of all target strength detections from the data collection was started.
D Numerical
The Numerical View information field contains an overview of the values of parameters in the ME70, beam data, target strength data and results from the calibration. All information is represented in numerical manner.
By default, the fields are automatically arranged in the ME70 views.
Tip
To change the size of the individual field, click and drag the field borders. You can also increase the size of the dialog box. To make the dialog box cover the entire screen, double-click the title bar.
Observe the other information fields adapt to the newly selected echo (target).
