probably set the gain too high. Adjust the gain so that about only about 5% of
the total image is shown in the saturation color
If you are trying to track a moving target, or track a target from a moving vehicle,
use the scan reverse button (or
Scan Reverse in the Operations Menu) to
improve the update rate on the target
Limit the Sector Width to the area of interest to maximize the update rate. (See
Control Panel)
Use a higher Scan Speed when highest update rate is important. (See Control
Panel)
Use the slowest Scan Speed when you are trying to discern a small target or
require maximum detail in the image
Set the Range to the shortest setting that allows you to see what you need to
see. This will give you the highest update rate and the best image quality. (See
Control Panel)
Always keep in mind the overall geometry of the situation, including the fact that
the sonar beam is fan shaped and becomes very narrow the closer you are to
the transducer. As you move closer and closer to a target, it is quite possible for
it to disappear simply because it has moved over or under the beam
