Echo image dialog box description
TX rate:
20 TX rates are available. Normally, the highest rate (20) is used. When in shallow
waters second reflection echoes may appear between surface and actual bottom echo. In
this case, lower the rate.
STC:
STC is useful for suppressing surface noise (plankton or bubble, etc.) The setting
range is 0-10; the higher the setting the greater the extent of suppression. Setting 10
suppresses noise up to 5 m. Turn off the STC when there is no noise on the screen,
otherwise weak echoes may be missed.
TVG curve
: Choose the TVG curve to use. The higher the numeric the higher the gain with
depth.
User TVG setting:
Effective when “TVG curve” is set for Manual. This allows you to set a
different TVG from those provided.
Noise threshold:
Adjusts noise present on long range (deep depth). The larger the figure,
the more noise is erased.
