OPERATION
Introduction
What this chapter contains
All operation of the sonar is normally made from the Sonar
Operating Panel. Optionally, a standard mouse or trackball may
be connected, and the sonar can then be operated by means of
the menu system alone.
This section contains a detailed description of the start and stop
procedures, the principles of the menu operation, and other
operational procedures for the daily use of the SP70. In order to
obtain the necessary understanding of the sonar design, refer to
the System description chapter. The various presentation formats
are described in the Display mode chapter.
