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 card
inserted into the unit’s card reader.
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 ForwardScan).
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 memory card in the card reader.
Bytes per sounding
Select how many bytes per seconds 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 logs to StructureMap
format (.smf) when recording completes. The log file can also be converted to StructureMap
format from the Files option.
Upload to Insight Genesis
Files are transmitted to Insight Genesis when recording completes, if you are connected to a
wireless hotspot. For information about wireless hotspots, refer to "Wireless connection" on page
95.
