StructureMap | NSO-II Operator Manual
Recording StructureScan data
StructureScan data can be recorded from a chart panel with Structure overlay enabled.
StructureScan recordings can also be started from a StructureScan panel.
When StructureScan data is being recorded, there
will be a ashing red symbol and a message will
appear periodically at the bottom of the screen.
¼ Note: The message includes information about
le size. Keep the size of your sonar logs to 100MB
or less to allow for faster le conversion.
The sounder recording is stopped by re-selecting
the record function.
Converting StructureScan data to StructureMap format
A StructureScan log le (.sl2) is converted to StructureMap format (.smf) after recording
from the recording dialog, or from the Files dialog.
You can create standard or high resolution les. High resolution .smf les capture more
detail, but take longer to convert and are larger than standard resolution les.
To save disc space it is recommended to remove the StructureScan (*.sl2) les after
conversion.
Using StructureMap with mapping cards
StructureMap allows you to maintain full chart capability and can be used with embedded
cartography as well as Navionics, Insight and other third-party charting cards compatible
with the NSO-II systems.
When using StructureMap with mapping cards, copy the StructureMap (.smf ) les to the
unit’s internal memory. We recommend keeping copies of StructureMap les on external
SD cards.
