2. Navigation/Depth
Display
These indicators provide navigation and digital depth info to the user in real-time. Navigation/Depth
information includes the digital depth, current Date/Time, global position, and ping count.
The digital depth is shown to 1 decimal place in both Feet and Meters and is displayed in a large font to
make viewing easier from a distance. The depth value is updated once per ping and will show
-.-
if the
depth is not found or invalid.
The Date/Time shown is based on the user’s PC clock by default and can be displayed in Local time or
GMT (See User Preferences in Section 3.1.2.1). If the PC is connected to a GPS receiver that is receiving
valid navigation data, the Date and Time on the user’s PC can be synchronized to the UTC Date/Time
transmitted from the GPS (See “Configure NMEA I/O” in Section 3.1.2.1 for more information).
Position info is also provided when a GPS receiver is connected to the PC and the StrataBox Software is
configured and receiving valid GPS data. When GPS Position data is not available, the display will show
“Latitude N/A” and “Longitude N/A”. If the StrataBox PC Software is receiving position data, it will be
provided in Decimal Minutes format. (i.e. 41° 22.74402’ N, 71° 36.25902’ W)
