Description
Note
The options provided by this function depend on your current active view.
Use the Vertical Tx Sector function to control the opening angle - and thus the size - of the vertical search sector (swath). This is the physical area that is covered with each transmission ("ping"). If you select Auto, the sector is defined by the current range.
