Environment
Environmental parameters such as salinity, sound speed and water temperature all play
an important part to present accurate echo data. Use the
Environment
parameters to
define these values. Depending on the current sea and weather conditions, you may
need to change these values frequently.
•
Language
You may prefer to use the SX90 with a user interface in your own language. A selection
of languages is provided. The
Language
function allows you to select the language to be
used in the SX90 presentations, menus and dialog boxes.
•
Stabilization
The SX90 is provided with a built-in electronic stabilization of the sonar beams. In case
of a faulty motion reference unit this functionality can be turned
Off .
•
Screen Captures
While using the SX90 you may wish to make a screen capture to save an instantaneous
copy of the current presentation. You can choose either a single screen capture or a
sequence with multiple screen captures.
•
Beam Visualization
With the various beams provided by the SX90, it may be difficult to understand the
concept. How do these beams "behave" in the water? The beam visualization feature
simulates how the acoustic beams cover the seabed and the water column.
•
BITE (Built-In Test Equipment)
The SX90 is a computerized Fish-finding sonar. There are hardly any analogue circuitry,
and the possibility of traditional troubleshooting is limited. In order to rectify this, a
built-in software application is available to offer test and maintenance functionality.
The
BITE
(Built-In Test Equipment) dialog box controls the test and diagnose program
that checks the performance of the SX90.
•
Export
The
Export
dialog box allows you to export user settings, configuration files, message
logs and information related to the hardware and software troubleshooting.
•
Installation
Before you use the SX90 you must set it up to communicate with the relevant peripherals.
This includes the transducer. Use the
Installation
dialog box to set up all interfaces with
external devices, and to set up basic parameters related to installation and operation. In
most cases, you only need to do this once.
