1.14 A-scope Display
The A-scope display shows echoes at each
transmission with amplitudes and tone pro-
portional to their intensities, on the right 1/3 of
the screen. The display shows strong echoes
with strong amplitude; weak echoes in weak
amplitude. Thus the A-scope display is useful
for estimating the kind of school of fish and
bottom composition.
Note: The A-scope display is only available
with the high frequency display in dual fre-
quency operation.
1. Open the menu, select [Display] and
press the ENTER key.
2. Select [A-Scope] and
press the ENTER key.
3. Select the A-scope pre-
sentation type desired
and press the ENTER key.
[Off]: Turn off the A-scope display.
[Normal]: Display shows echoes at each
transmission with amplitudes and tone
proportional to their intensities.
[Peak]: "Normal" A-scope display plus
peak-hold amplitude picture for last five
seconds in dots.
4. Press the MENU/ESC key twice to close
the window.
Directional angle display
With the transducer selected for other than
600 W or 1kW (FCV-587 only), directional an-
gle range line, direction angle, directional ra-
dius, directional radius value and directional
radius line appear on the A-scope display.
The directional angle display provides an at-
a-glance view of the available detection
range. In the example below an echo from a
school of fish is at the depth of 20 m. and with-
in 8. 5 m radius of the center of the transducer
beam.
Note: The directional angle range lines repre-
sent the transducer beamwidth. They are not
an indication of echo strength.
