Description
Under normal use, the ST90 system presents several different echoes simultaneously. Some of these are clearly more interesting than others. It can be a challenging task to tell these echoes apart. It can also be hard to keep track of the different echoes as both echoes and your own vessel move. To ease the identification of these echoes you can use markers. Each marker is identified with its geographical location. If you have placed markers on several echoes to make them objects, you can select one of these and give it priority status.
Select the output type from the list, and then where to save the files. Select Add to save your choices.
Once an output type has been defined, it is listed in the Installed Outputs box on the left side of the page. To remove or edit an output type, select it in the Installed Outputs box. Select Edit to change the settings. Select Remove to delete the output.
