Beam Visualization dialog box
With the various beams provided by the ST90 system, it may be difficult to understand the
concepts. How do these beams "behave" in the water? By means of a graphic presentation,
the
Beam Visualization
dialog box attempts to give you a better understanding of how the
acoustic beams are transmitted into the water.
How to open
This dialog box is opened from the
Setup
menu.
Prerequisites
You must have a computer mouse with two control buttons and a scroll wheel. You can also
use the Operating Panel.
Description

the water column.

Beam Visualization
dialog is open. The change
you make to the beams are reflected in the presentation.
