Font Size

software.
•
Palette
Select
Palette
to choose your preferred echo colours. Which colour scale to use is
mainly a personal preference based on ambient light conditions, the nature of the
echoes and your own experience.
•
Sector Orientation
You can rotate the sonar view so that it is facing left, right, up, or down.
•
Heading Overlay
If your Sonar Head is forward looking, click
Heading Overlay
to enable or disable this
feature. When this feature is enabled, the degree annotations in the sonar view will
change to reflect the current sonar heading.
•
Speckle Filter
Click
Speckle Filter
to enable or disable this function. This filter reduces noise (the
grainy “salt-and-pepper” pattern) in uniform areas of the sonar view. Distinguishable
details in features and targets will be retained.
•
Sidelobe Reduction
Click
Sidelobe Reduction
to enable or disable automatic 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. In
addition, the automatic adjustments work well when the sonar is constantly moving,
such as on an ROV.
Tip
If you have a software license for advanced features, you can view the
automatically-calculated sidelobe reduction ratio or manually adjust the ratio using
a slider.
