(A) Bearing
The Bearing function controls the horizontal direction of the Vertical view and the beam in each Inspection view. The current bearing applied to the Horizontal view is shown with a solid line pointing out from the sonar position.
(B) Power
Press this button to turn on the Xbox Controller.
(C) Screen Capture
Press Screen Capture to make a copy of the current display presentation. You can choose either a single screen capture or a sequence with multiple screen captures. Open the Screen Captures dialog box to select screen capture mode.
(D) Screen Recording
The Screen Recording function allows you to record and save the echo presentation as a video file.
Everything that happens in the presentation is recorded. This includes echoes, menus, dialog boxes and cursor movements. Each screen recording you make is saved in .mp4 format on the Processor Unit hard disk. The file name reflects the current date and time.
NoteVideo data files will normally become very large. If you wish to record large amounts of data, make sure that you have enough space on your hard disk. Unless your Processor Unit is equipped with a very large disk, we recommend that you save the data to an external storage
device.
(F) Range
The Range buttons offer range control for the horizontal and vertical presentations.
The range setting defines from how "far" you want to detect echoes. In other words, you specify the horizontal or vertical distance from the vessel to the outer edge of the search area.
NoteEven though you can choose a large range value, that does not mean that you can detect your targets on the same range. The
range value only defines the range that is shown in the views. Actual target detection will always depend on the operational
environment, such as water temperature, salinity, interference and layers in the water column.
(G)
These buttons are not used.
(H) Cursor / Place Marker
Use this controller with horizontal movements to move the cursor in the display presentation.
Press the controller down to place a marker.
One or more markers can be placed in the view to identify specific echoes. Each marker is shown as a small triangle with or without a short identifying label. It is positioned based on the two known axes in the view as well as the tilt and bearing of the current ping.
The marker is stationary. It has a specified range, bearing and depth related to your own vessel. If the echo moves in the display presentation the marker will not follow.
(I) Tilt
The Tilt buttons allow you to control the vertical angle of the sonar beams.
(K) Circle Marker
A single circle marker can be placed in the display presentation. The circle is drawn with the same diameter as your purse. By means of the circle you can see the size of the school relative to your purse. You can only add one circle marker to the display presentation.
