The crossing of the X/Y axis represents the origin, and all beams will be located relative to this point. The currently selected beam is displayed in a red colour, while the other beams are displayed with blue circles. The last ping detections are displayed in red circles while previous detections are painted in grey. This view includes the positions of all target strength detections from the data collection was started. To select a beam in this information field, click in any of the circles representing a beam. The Beams Hit Ratio presentation on the top of the view tells you how many beams that have received a hit compared to the total number of beams.
