DS400X and DS500X Digital Fishfinders
Depth Offset
The depth offset is added to the measured depth value before it is displayed.
You can specify the depth as a positive value (waterline offset) or a negative
value (keel offset). The depth offset can be adjusted in 0.1 increments of the
units you have assigned using the
UNITS...
parameter. (
See page 59
.)
Speed Calibrate
If the transducer is equipped with a speed paddlewheel, the DS400/500X
calculates the speed of the boat through the water. The Speed Calibrate
option enables you to adjust the displayed speed so that it matches your actual
speed through the water. You can adjust the displayed speed from 1% to
200%.
If the sounder reading is too low, set Speed Calibration to more than 100%. If
the sounder reading is too high, set Speed Calibration to less than 100%. This
setting also calibrates the Log, Trip and paddlewheel distance.
Temp Calibrate
If the transducer is equipped with a temperature-sensing thermistor, the
DS400/500X calculates the temperature of the water. The temperature
calibrate option enables you to adjust the displayed temperature.in 0.1 degree
increments of the temperature units you have assigned using the
UNITS...
parameter. (
See page 59
.)
Sounder Simulator
The simulator enables you to operate your display without data from the
transducer, in order to become familiar with the sounder features and
functions. You can set the simulator
ON
or
OFF
. You cannot select
OFF
when
the unit is powered on without a transducer connected.
