17.5 Multiple sonar module support
Your multifunction display supports multiple active sonar
modules on the same network.
You can select which sonar channel you want to be displayed
on-screen. Only 1 channel can be displayed at a time in a
single Fishfinder application pane. Multiple channels can be
displayed at the same time using custom splitscreen pages.
Alternatively multiple custom pages could be set up to suit
individual requirements.
