Hull Unit
You must specify a maximum speed for the vessel. This speed can match the hull unit specification, or you can choose a lower speed for increased safety.
The SY50 system can be provided with one of the following hull units:
Hull Unit |
Lowering depth (mm) |
Maximum speed (knots) |
SY50 |
400/600 |
12 |
SY50C |
400 |
12 |
The same transducer is used on all hull unit types. |
NoteWe strongly recommend that you do not specify a higher speed than the hull unit is designed for.
If the speed limit is exceeded a message is issued by the SY50 system.
Screen Recording
The Screen Recording function allows you to record and save the echo presentation as a video file. 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.
Video 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.
The Screen Recording protection stops the recording automatically when the transducer is hoisted to its upper position. Select Enable Protection to allow the SY50 system to monitor the value against the chosen limit. The Timer function stops the recording automatically when the specified time has elapsed.

Use the Screen Recording page to define where the video files are saved. This page is located in the Output dialog box. This dialog box is opened from the Operation menu. |
Recording
Record RAW allows you to record the unprocessed echo data received by the transducer. You can save the data to the hard disk, or onto an external storage device. The data files can be played back on the SY50 system. You can keep the recorded files for future reference, training purposes and calibration.
The 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. The SY50 system is not provided with unlimited disk capacity. We recommend that you save the data files to an external storage device.

The recording is controlled by the Record RAW function. Use the raw data recording functionality provided by the SY50 system to save echo data using the *.raw format. By means of the Replay function you can later play back the recorded file(s). This may prove useful if more a detailed study of the data is requested. You can also use the file(s) to experiment with the operational settings, as this will help you to gain more experience. The amount of data you can record is only limited by the size of your storage media. |

The File Setup settings control how and where the recorded files are saved on the hard disk, or on an external storage device. You can select the disk and folder for the files, the maximum file size, and a prefix for the file names. This page is located in the Output dialog box. This dialog box is opened from the Operation menu. |

When the recording is stopped, the Recording dialog box opens automatically. Use the Recording dialog box to add metadata to your recording. |
