7.5.4 Bottom discrimination display
The bottom discrimination display analyzes the bottom echo to categorize bottom
hardness in one of four types (rocks, gravel, sand, mud) and shows the results in a
colorful graphic display. A transducer or triducer that supports the bottom discrimina-
tion display is required.
There are two bottom discrimination displays: graphic and probability.
Graphic display: The most probable material on the bottom (mud, sand, gravel, rock)
is indicated graphically.
Probability display: The most probable bottom material is indicated in proportion.
Characteristics of the bottom discrimination display
