INTRODUCTION TO FISHTR AX™  INTELLIGENT SON AR  

FishTrax™ Intelligent Sonar uses SONAR sound waves to detect 
depth, locate fish, and define bottom contour, composition and 
structure.  Using specialized microprocessors, these sound waves 
are generated by the FishTrax™ display and sent to the 
FishTrax™ Sonar Sensor 

(Transducer)

.  The sonar sensor, acting 

first as a “speaker”, emits these sound waves as a series of 
pulses.    Then, microseconds later, the sonar sensor switches to 
a “microphone” and listens for the return of the pulses as they 
bounce off of objects in the water column 

(referred to as 

“echoes”).  

The “echoes” are sent back to the display where, 

using proprietary algorithms in the FishTrax™ software, they are 
analyzed for location, size, and composition.  These signal are 
then arranged by FishTrax’s™ Human Interface Software and 
displayed in an easy to understand manner on the VirtuView™ 
Dot Matrix Display.
