More options
Pause
Pauses the image, allowing you to examine the image in detail.
The pause function stops the echosounder from pinging. The system is not collecting data
when paused in this manner.
Palettes
Used for selecting the image's color palette.
History ratio
Controls how much sounder history is shown behind the boat. The higher the ratio, the more
history will be shown.
Point data
By default, ForwardScan only shows the bottom. Select this option to specify to view no
sounder data points, all data points, or only points (objects) in the water column.
Depth lines
Displays lines on the screen that make it easier to quickly estimate depth and the underwater
objects.
Recording ForwardScan data
Displays the record dialog. ForwardScan log data can be recorded by selecting the correct
file format (sl3) in the record dialog. For more information, refer to "Recording log data" on page
