When the Sonar image is being recorded, there is a flashing red
symbol in the top left corner and a message will appear periodically
at the bottom of the screen. The recording is stopped by selecting
the
Log Sonar
function and then selecting
Stop
.
The following options are available:
Filename
Specify the name of the recording (log).
File format
Select a file format from the drop-down, slg (Sonar only), xtf
(Structure only), or sl2 (Sonar & Structure).
Ú
Note:
XTF format is for use only with select 3rd party sonar
viewing tools.
Bytes per sounding
Select how many bytes per seconds that are to be used when
saving the log file. More bytes yield better resolution, but cause the
record file to increase in size compared to using lower byte settings.
Create StructureMap when completed
If StructureScan is available on the network, you can convert the
loggings to StructureMap format (.smf) after recording. The log file
can also be converted to StructureMap format from the Files option.
Viewing the recorded sounder data
Both internally and externally stored sounder records may be
reviewed when selected.
The log file is displayed as a paused image, and you control the
scrolling and display from the replay menu option.
You can use the cursor on the replay image, and pan the image as
on a normal echo image.
If more than one channel was recorded in the selected echo file,
you can select which channel to display.
You exit the replay mode by pressing the
X
key or by selecting the
X
symbol in the upper right corner of the replay image.
