1 | Move the cursor to the top bar, and investigate the functions provided. Observe that small tooltips open to identify the various functions you can use.
The top bar is located at the top of the display presentation and stretches from the far left to the far right. The top bar gives you fast access to key functionality and navigational information. It provides buttons for hiding and showing the menu, making screen captures, opening the Messages dialog box, and opening context-sensitive help. And more importantly, from the top bar you can see when data recording is active.
|
2 | Move the cursor to the menu system on the right side of the presentation. The Main menu is located at the top of the menu structure. It offers the most common functions for efficient use of the ME70 system. Below the Main menu, a set of dedicated icons are used to open the secondary menus. Select the icon one more time to close the menu.
|
3 | Move the cursor to the bottom of the display presentation. A dedicated tab provides a special view for you to see the screen captures you have made. The product name tab brings you back to normal view. The bottom bar also shows the current colour scale, the transceiver status button and the date and time.
|
4 | Move the cursor to a channel view. The ME70 presentation provides five Channel views. There are three views next to each other in the top row, and one on each side of the Swath view. Each Channel view presents the echogram for the chosen beam, as well as related information. All information in a selected field can be hidden from view with the Hide View function. If you click in a Channel view, the echogram is selected to be “active”. The "active" echogram view is identified with a thick red border. The choice you make is by default only applied to the currently selected (active) view.
|
5 | Observe the information fields. Each channel view can provide five additional fields, Colour Scale, Depth, Single Target Position, Single Target Histogram, Scope and Numerical information field. These fields can be enabled in the Configure Window dialog box, and opened by dragging the border lines in vertical or horizontally.
|
6 | Move the cursor to the swath view. You have one swath for the entire multibeam transducer. The swath consists of a number of beams which spread out like a fan in the water and over the seafloor. The Swath view provides an overview of the acoustic data from all the beams making up the fan.
|
7 | Click inside one of the echogram views. Before you can change the settings related to a view, you must click inside the view to activate it. The changes you make are by default only valid for the active view. Observe that the border lines of the active view are drawn with a thicker line.
Several of the functions offer Apply to All. If you select Apply to All your setting is applied to all the views simultaneously.
