Adjusting the intensity of the echo presentations
The effect of the
Gain
adjustment is minimized if you apply
RCG
(Reverberation Controlled
Gain) and
AGC
(Automatic Gain Control). The
Display Gain
is applied at the end of the
filter sequence in the CS90 system. This means that you can use
Display Gain
if you are not
completely satisfied with the results of the automatic gain functionality.
Context
Display Gain
controls the "amount" of echo that is displayed, in other words the "strength"
or "intensity" of the echo presentation. The function thus increases or decreases the
presentation of the echo colours. Use this setting together with
Gain
to adjust the sensitivity
of the CS90 system.
For all practical purposes, adjusting
Display Gain
has the same effect as adjusting
Gain
.
Adjust the
Display Gain
so that you can see the targets without too much noise and
reverberation. The chosen setting is a matter of personal preferences.
Procedure
1 Open the
Display
menu.
2 Select
Display Gain
.
