faults are recommended settings for general opera-
tion.
If you are running PC/View for the first time, it will
start with the default settings as shown at left.
Change the settings by selecting the appropriate com-
mand from the specified menu.
Demo Mode
PC/View includes a built-in Demo mode which will
display the stored data that was installed with the
software. Demo mode will automatically be started
if the PC/View’s parallel cable is not connected to
the Acoustic Interface Module during start-up.
Running in DEMO mode will allow you to practice
and to get a feeling for the PC/View’s many features
before actually using the system in real situations on
the water.
Beam Width
The PC/View’s Beam Width is approximately 12
degrees in both the vertical and horizontal scan
modes. The diagrams at right and below show the
approximate width of the vertical and horizontal
scanning beams at different distances from the boat.
The PC/View will generally image features within
the shaded areas.
The PC/View horizontal scan is oriented approxi-
mately ten degrees down from horizontal (see the
diagram below). Thus, the depth to the center of the
beam is approximately 18 percent of the distance
from the boat.
