The right hand side of the panel provides system information:

T: Sector Tilt angle
•
G: Minimum and maximum depth gate settings
•
f: Operating frequency
•
c: Sound velocity at the sonar head

The user can customise the colour scheme of Sonic
Control’s main window.
Dot Colors provides a means to view instantaneous
information by colouring the bottom detections dots for
the detection algorithm being employed when Magnitude
is selected.
Selecting Intensity provides a grey scale representation of
the return data’s acoustic strength. This Dot Color mode
can be very helpful in balancing the power, gain and pulse
length for optimal operation of the system. The
Brightness (dB) sets a base reference for the depiction of
the acoustic return strength.
Under Draggable Sector Outline, the user can enable or
disable the feature to use the mouse cursor to change
opening angle and swath rotation.
