Setting the Sonar Picture Advance Rate
The picture advance setting allows the sonar picture to advance faster by drawing more than one column of
data on the screen for each column of sounder data received. This is especially helpful when you are using
the sounder in deep water, because the sonar signal takes longer to travel to the water bottom and back to the
transducer.
The 1/1 setting draws one column of information on the screen per sounder return. The 2/1 setting draws two
columns of information on the screen per sounder return, and so on for the 4/1 and 8/1 settings.
