Echo Level - This button provides a readout of the current noise
in the waters surrounding the vessel. This noise is caused by air
bubbles, water flow and mechanical disturbances from hull and
engine. In order to obtain the best possible sonar result, the
noise level readout should be as close to 0.0 dB as possible.
Roll - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the
actual roll value at the time of the last transmission.
Pitch - This is not a button, it is a readout from the sensor of the
actual pitch value at the time of the last transmission.
TRU Temp- This button provides a readout of the current
temperature inside the Transceiver Unit. If the temperature rises
to an unacceptable level, an alarm will be given.
Interpolation - This is a built-in software function that may
give a more realistic presentation of the echos.
Message bar - This button opens the Message bar parameter
dialogue, which allows you to monitor operational messages
from the sonar.
