3.1
StrataBox PC Software
This section describes how to operate the StrataBox Sensor using the PC Software package included with
your StrataBox.
3.1.1 - The Main Window
The StrataBox Main interface is divided into two fields, the
Controls and Status
field, and the
Data
field. The vertical window boundary between the fields may be positioned by the user as desired.
The
Controls and Status
field is located in the left portion of the window. It provides access to all of the
user controlled parameters. Specifically, the
Controls and Status
field includes digital depth, an
animated compass with heading marks in degrees, GPS Position, Time/Date, Ping Count, available disk
space (for data storage), and StrataBox Sensor status.
The
Data
field is located in the right portion of the window. It displays the actual echo data. The
Data
field can be viewed in either
Normal
or
Zoom
mode. In Normal Mode, the entire
Data
field is used for
displaying non-zoomed bottom data. In Zoom Mode, the
Data
field is divided in half to show zoomed
data on the left and normal bottom data on the right. While echo data is being shown in either mode, the
user may use the mouse to obtain a digital depth value anywhere in the water column by pointing and
clicking. See the below picture and table for more info. (The picture reflects the software in Zoom mode)
NOTE: The current on-screen bottom image in both Zoom and Data windows will be lost
upon resizing the window
