Tip
With the various beams provided by the SX90, it may be difficult to understand the concept.
How do these beams "behave" in the water? By means of a graphic presentation, the
Beam
Visualization
dialog box attempts to give you a better understanding of how the acoustic
beams are transmitted into the water. Open the
Beam Visualization
dialog box from the
Setup
menu.
Procedure
1
At the bottom of the SX90 presentation, select a suitable presentation mode, and
activate the
Horizontal
view.
The view presents the 360 degrees area around your vessel in bird’s eye view. The
current bearing is shown with a continuous line pointing out from the vessel position.
You can change the angle by means of the
Bearing
function on the
Main
menu. You can
also select the bearing line and drag it sideways.
The bow marker is shown as a dotted line drawn from the bow of the vessel symbol.
The line reflects your vessel’s current heading. The bow marker can be enabled or
disabled on the
Visual Objects
menu.
The distance from the vessel symbol in the centre of the circle to the outer ring
corresponds to the currently selected range.
• The current settings for range, gain and tilt are shown in the upper left corner of the
view. When you change the tilt a dotted line presents the requested tilt while the
solid line presents the actual tilt. You can change the tilt angle by means of the
Tilt
function on the
Main
menu. You can also click on the tilt line in a
Vertical
view and drag it up and down.
• The position (bearing and distance) and depth of the cursor location is shown in the
lower right corner of the view. The depth is calculated from the current tilt and the
distance from the vessel.
