pertaining to the Sensor may also be displayed within this area - Refer to the manual

section provided with each Sensor for further details of its display area.

Sidebar

This is where Serial input data and user text can be displayed. This bar can

be placed on the Left or Right hand side with RHS the default setting. The operator can

choose to have this bar visible or not and it can also be folded away.

5.2.2. Sonar Settings

These controls are displayed on the Sonar Settings bar. When the RAT is used or screen

cursor is moved over the Sonar Settings bar, a pop-up control panel will appear which will

display the remaining controls. These mimic the positions of the rotary controls (C1 to C5)

and function buttons (F1 to F7) on the RAT. Adjustments may be made using the RAT or the

on screen controls using the pointer device.

Figure 5.2.

Note

F1, F2 are not applicable in single window applications, F7 is not used.

Sonar Gain (C1)

This sets the sonar receive gain as required – typically

this is around 50% but is varied according to water and

target conditions and user preference.

Contrast (C2)

This sets the display contrast between hard and soft

targets. Usually set to user preference, it can help

find small features in generally featureless situation or

exclude clutter from a heavily featured seabed.

Range (C3)

This sets the maximum range the sonar will scan. Long

ranges are scanned more slowly than short ranges due

to the limit imposed by the velocity of sound in water.

Sector Scan Direction (C4)

This is used to set the centre of the scanned sector

particularly useful when using a narrow sector width to

concentrate on a particular feature. A well positioned,

narrow sector will allow faster scan updates than a wide

sector.

Sector Scan Width (C5)

This sets the width of the scanned sector. Typically

this will be adjusted according to the required seabed

coverage.

Display Sensitivity (C6)

This sets the display sensitivity threshold. A low setting

will effectively remove very low level returns from being

displayed which may include (soft) seabed backscatter

whereas a higher setting will start to remove higher

amplitude echoes which may include objects of interest.
