15.3 Sonar overview and features
The Sonar application uses a sonar module and
a suitable sonar transducer. The sonar module
interprets signals from the transducer and builds
up a detailed underwater view. Various sonar
technologies are available, all of which work on the
same basic principles.
The sonar transducer sends pulses of sound waves
into the water and measures the time it takes for the
sound waves to travel to the bottom and back. The
returning echoes are affected by bottom structure
and by any other objects in their path, for example
reefs, wrecks, shoals or sh. The Sonar module
interprets these signals and builds up a detailed
underwater view which is displayed in the Sonar
application.
The Sonar application uses colors and shading to
indicate the strength of the returns. You can use this
information to determine the bottom structure, the
size of sh and other objects in the water, such as
debris or air bubbles
Note:
• Some transducers include additional sensors to
measure water temperature and/or speed.
• Not all Sonar modules can be used for a source
of depth information.
