Auto button in the toolbar and the operator can manually set the
threshold, gain and TVG for the picture in the Sidescan screen.
The waterfall data is automatically adjusts to the ranges in the history.
Side-scan cannot be used to accurately measure true depths, but it can
provide a more detailed picture of the seafloor. This image can be used
together with bathymetry to identify features and to help ensure that the
survey does not miss any small but significant targets.
For integrated dual head systems only the side scan data of the port head
is showed.
