Range Processing
This feature, when used together with Azimuth Processing, allows you to see
the unprocessed raw data received directly from the transducer. If the transmit
pulse is an LFM pulse, unchecking this box will not apply range compression to
the raw data before the beamforming processing.
•
Sidelobe Reduction
This function improves overall image quality by reducing the sidelobes of
strong targets. Sidelobe reduction is especially useful at short ranges when
targets are very close.
Note
If automatic sidelobe reduction is enabled in the
Display
menu, the slider will be
greyed out and you can view the automatically-calculated sidelobe reduction
ratio. If automatic sidelobe reduction is disabled in the
Display
menu, you can
drag the slider to the right to manually increase sidelobe reduction. On the
highest settings you may notice a black line appearing around the same range
of the bright target.
Playback Controls
Note
You can also edit the
Playback Controls
settings in the “PowerUsersInfo.xml” file.
•
Override Beamlist
This feature allows you to replace the beamlist of a recorded “.mmb” file with a
new beamlist XML file. The recorded raw data will be beamformed based on
the new beamlist. Checking the
Override Beamlist
box will enable the
Beamlist
File
field. You can type in the beamlist file’s address or click the folder icon
to browse for it.
•
Override Processing Type
Leave this setting as No to use the original processing type for beamforming in
post processing.
System Information
•
Ping Rate
The ping rate is determined either by the current sonar application, or calculated
based on the network link speed.
•
Update Rate
The update rate is the number of times the sonar view is updated per second.
The displayed ping rate may be different from the update rate because the
system might be impacted by other processes.
