4.10.1 View – Sub-Bottom Processing
This is used to set the online SBP data pro-
cessing. These settings are used for the
online echo plot only and will not affect the
recorded data.
Stacking / Smoothing are used to improve the signal to noise ratio (range 1-16, increment 1).
A good starting point would be a rate of 2 to 3.
With “Stacking” set to > 1 an average of pings is ploted and then a new average block
starts. This will reduce the ping update rate on screen. This effect is shown in the picture below
(b), the black vertical line indicates the data part seen in (a).
With “Smoothing” set to > 1 also an average of pings is ploted, but this is a moving aver-
age. Thus, the ping update rate on screen is not changing, but high “Smoothing” values may
have a blurring effect on the data seen on screen.
