Display description
A display is a required part of the EK80 Wide band scientific echo sounder. For best
readability, the display must be protected from glare and have the correct height and
angle.
Any commercial display can be used with the EK80 Wide band scientific echo sounder,
provided that the display meets the minimum requirements.
You may wish to see many echogram channels simultaneously. A large display with high
resolution is then useful. The EK80 software supports all display sizes. The visual quality
of the EK80 presentation depends on the quality of your graphic adapter and display.
Note
The display is not a standard part of the EK80 delivery. This is a commercial item
that can be purchased locally.
The chosen display must be designed for maritime use, and it must meet the minimum
performance specifications. You must also make sure that the chosen display supports
the video formats provided by the Processor Unit. Kongsberg Maritime may provide
a suitable display.
Tip
Many computers have two video ports. Two displays can therefore be used to see the
EK80 presentations. You can place the two displays next to each other. You can also
choose to place the second display at another location on the vessel.
The presentation on the second display is controlled using the operating system features
on the Processor Unit.
