With the various beams provided by the SN90 system, it may be difficult to understand the concepts. How do these beams "behave" in the water? By means of a graphic presentation, the Beam Visualization dialog box attempts to give you a better understanding of how the acoustic beams are transmitted into the water.
This example shows you how the beams behave in the Trawl Vertical presentation mode.
