19.6 Custom channels
When connected to an External Traditional sonar
module such as the CP300 or an External CHIRP
sonar module such as the CP450C, custom channels
can be created from the sonar module’s default
channels; excluding Auto channels. This enables
some settings to be customized and saved as a
separate channel. These channels can then be
assigned to individual Fishfinder application panes.
Up to 10 custom channels can be created for each
compatible sonar module.
When changed the following settings are saved to
the channel that is currently displayed:
• Sensitivity settings
• Range settings
• Frequency tuning — Only 2 frequency settings
can be saved per transducer / sonar module
combination.
Note: Performing a Sonar Reset will erase all
custom channels for the current sonar module.
