4.1.6 Other Settings & Logging 

On the left-hand side are further controls for the sonar: 

 

 

The functions of the Settings 

 and Setup 

 buttons have been covered previously in this 

manual.

 

The Run/Pause button 

 will stop the sonar scanning.  Pressing again will resume scanning.

 

The Scan Direction button 

 will change the direction which the sonar scans (clockwise or 

counter-clockwise).

 

The Clear Image button 

 will erase all sonar image data currently on the display, providing a 

blank sonar screen.

 

The Display Options button 

 has been covered previously in this manual.

 

The Reset View 

button will restore the sonar display to full screen.  This is useful if you want 

to quickly zoom out of a zoomed area of the sonar display.

 

The Zoom In 

 and Zoom Out 

 buttons allow sections of the sonar display to be 

magnified. Once zoomed in, clicking and holding the left mouse button will allow the area of zoom 
to be moved around the display.  The display can also be zoomed into or out of by using the mouse 
wheel or by pinching the screen if using a touchscreen display.
