to enable or disable the bearing and range annotations in the sonar view.
•
Font Size
You can choose between using a normal or a large font size throughout the M3 Sonar
FLS 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
Enter an angle (in degrees) into the
Orientation
dialog box, then click
Apply
to rotate the
sonar view to your chosen angle.
•
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.
•
Reset to Default Layout
Click to reset the presentation layout. All windows and dialog boxes will be docked in
their default location. In addition, some display elements are hidden by default.
