OPERATION

Introduction

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 SH80. 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.
