6-Beam Sonar View
6-Beam Sonar View
displays information from each of the six 455 kHz
beams in a traditional 2D representation. This view displays the raw sonar
returns from each of the beams that are used to create the 3-dimensional
wire frame representation of the bottom in the 3D Sonar View. The 6-Beam
Sonar View can be used for identifying structure on the bottom and sonar
returns in the water column. The 6-Beam Sonar View also provides
information on sonar targets relative to the boat. The far right window
displays sonar targets which are to the far right of the boat and the far left
window displays sonar targets which are to the far left of the boat. The
remaining windows display sonar targets which are successively closer to
the boat. The width of coverage is approximately equal to the current depth.
