Shallow Water
: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less
than the specified value.
Deep Water
: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater
than the specified value.
FrontVü Alarm
: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth in front
of the vessel is less than the specified value, which can help
you avoid running aground (
Setting the FrontVü Depth Alarm
). This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü
transducers.
Water Temp.
: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer
reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the
specified temperature.
Contour
: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a
suspended target within the specified depth from the surface
of the water and from the bottom.

Transducers
: Shows all transducers on the network, allows you
to change transducers, and allows you to view diagnostic
information (
).
Depth and Anchoring
: Allows you to enter information about
the keel (
) and the anchor.
The Anchor Height value is the height of the anchor above
the waterline. The Anchor Scope value is the ratio of the
length of anchor rode in use to the vertical distance from the
bow of the vessel to the bottom of the water. These anchor
settings are used to calculate the Target Anchor Rode date
field.
Temp. Offset
: Allows you to set an offset value to compensate
for the water temperature reading from a NMEA 0183 water-
temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer
(
Setting the Water Temperature Offset
).
Calibrate Water Speed
: Calibrates the speed-sensing
transducer or sensor (
Calibrating a Water-Speed Device
).
Fuel Capacity
: Sets the combined fuel capacity of all the fuel
tanks on your vessel (
