Ping speed
Ping speed controls the rate the transducer transmits the signal into the water. By default,
the ping speed is set to max. It may be necessary to adjust the ping speed to limit
interference or to adjust for specific fishing conditions.
Start recording log data
You can start recording log data and save the file internally in the unit, or save it onto a
storage device connected to the unit.
The record function is activated from the Advanced menu option.
When the data is being recorded, there is a flashing red symbol in the top left corner and a
message appears periodically at the bottom of the screen.
Filename
Specify the name of the recording (log).
File format
Select a file format from the drop-down, slg (Echosounder only), xtf (Structure only*), sl2
(Echosounder and Structure) or sl3 (includes StructureScan 3D).
Ú
Note: XTF format is for use only with select 3rd party Echosounder viewing tools.
Save to
Select whether the recording is to be saved internally or to a storage device connected to
the unit.
Bytes per sounding
Select how many bytes per sounding that are to be used when saving the log file. More
bytes yield better resolution, but cause the record file to increase in size compared to using
lower byte settings.
Create StructureMap
If StructureScan is available on the network, you can convert the .sl2 or .sl3 logs to
StructureMap format (.smf) when recording completes. The log file can also be converted to
StructureMap format from the Files option.
Upload to C-MAP Genesis
Files are transmitted to C-MAP Genesis when recording completes, if you are connected to a
wireless hotspot. For information about wireless hotspots, refer to "Wireless connection" on page
102.
