3.7 A-Scope
Use the A-Scope screen to show raw sonar data directly from the transducer
beam. This gives you a “real time” image of fish and bottom structure directly
below the transducer. This function is very useful in showing the strength of the
echo returned from a fish. The display is split vertically, with the A-Scope image in
the right hand window and the scrolling bottom image in the left hand window.
Select one of the three modes for A-Scope:
• MODE 1, in which the image takes up the entire A-Scope window.
• MODE 2, in which only the left side of the image displayed in MODE 1 expands
to the entire A-Scope window. This mode provides the greatest resolution.
• MODE 3, in which the A-Scope image is angled outward as the signal width
(indicated with dotted lines) increases with depth.
The default setting is OFF.
Note:
If the Bottom Lock or Zoom image was displayed, selecting A-Scope automatically
switches OFF Bottom Lock and Zoom.
