SELECT READOUTS

(Advanced)

Select Readouts allows you to customize the information displayed in individual digital readouts on the left side of many views, including suppressing a particular readout so that nothing is displayed; the ability to customize readouts depends on the view and whether you are navigating. This Advanced feature allows you to select what data will be displayed in each of 5 fixed-position data windows arranged at the left edge of the Sonar View screen, or whether a particular data window will be turned off, displaying nothing in that area; you can access this menu

Select Readouts choice only when in Advanced User Mode (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode.)

Data windows can display readouts from supported accessories such as a Speed accessory. Each data window can either be empty (Off) or contain one of the following:

•	Heading	• Temperature
•	Depth	• Time + Date
•	Position	• Triplog
•	Voltage	• Water Speed (only with a Speed accessory)

•Speed (if there is a GPS Receiver, then this refers to the speed detected by the GPS Receiver; if no GPS Receiver, then this refers to the speed of the paddlewheel)

Sonar-only Views, Not Navigating: On Sonar-only views, as long as you are not navigating, all 5 readouts are customizable.

NOTE: All 5 readouts on the Side Imaging and Side/Sonar Combo views are also customizable.

Other Views, Not Navigating: On any view with a chart, as long as you are not

navigating, two of the readouts are not customizable: the 2nd box always displays Heading, while the 5th box always displays Speed. On the Bird’s Eye View, when you are not navigating, there are four fixed info boxes that show Depth, Heading, Position (Lat/Lon) and Speed. When you are navigating in the Bird's Eye View, there are two columns of four boxes. The first column shows Depth, Time To Go (TTG), Position (Lat/Lon), and Speed. The second column shows Cross Track Error (XTE), Heading, Bearing, and Distance To Go (DTG).

All Views, Navigating: When you are navigating, all readouts in all views (even split screen views with a Sonar display) cannot be customized, with the exception of the top readout info box, which is still customizable. In any view, while you are navigating, the second readout box shows Heading, the third box shows Bearing, the fourth box is divided to show Cross Track Error (XTE) and Distance To Go (DTG), and the fifth box is divided to show Time To Go (TTG) and Speed.
