1.1 Introduction
This handbook describes the DS600X Digital Fishfinder. The DS600X
features state-of-the-art High Definition Fish Imaging (HDFI) technology.
Constantly adjusting transmitter and receiver parameters throughout the
water column, the DS600X intelligently analyzes fish and bottom echoes
and automatically produces a crystal clear echo sounder display.

The DS600X employs a very high transmission repetition or “ping” rate
which, along with the digital adaptive high sample rate receiver, ensures that
fish and bottom structure are presented in superb detail and optimal color
allocation. The DS600X digital bandwidth adaptation adjusts the receiver
band width dynamically from very wide to very narrow, as required by the
actual water conditions. This provides superior fish and bottom detection in
all water conditions.
