Adjusting the echo sensitivity
Some echoes are weak while others are stronger. To compensate for this it is often necessary
to adjust the sensitivity of the SX90. This adjustment is commonly referred to as
gain .
Context
You can compare this gain setting with the volume control on your car radio. When the gain
is increased, the echoes will appear stronger. Weak echoes will be easier to see. However,
since you also increase the acoustic noise in the reception, the SX90 presentations will also
show this noise. Too much gain may therefore "distort" the presentation.
Comparing the gain function with the volume control on your car radio is not very accurate.
In fact, the gain in the SX90 is constant. The
Gain
function is used to adjust the sensitivity.
This done by controlling the minimum level of detection. When you increase the gain level
(more positive number) , you reduce the minimum level, and thus increase the sensitivity.
