This oscilloscope screen 10 shows a typical oscillogram of a bottom echo (the tall peak in the centre of the
diagram) and a weaker sh echo to the left of it. The horizontal axis represent time for the sound to travel
down and back from an object. The vessel is located at the left edge of the grid, and the right edge represent
the depth range. The vertical axis represent the magnitude of the echo signal received.
The length of the ping and the delay between pings, will adjust between preset limits (ping (10 m) and ping
(500 m)). The actual length of these extremes are shown here.
