Ping Speed & HyperScroll

Ping Speed controls the rate at which the transmitter and transducer broadcast sonar sound waves — pings — into the water. The unit has a default ping speed of 50 percent. At normal boating speeds, this auto- matically provides enough return echoes to refresh the screen and scroll the chart at maximum chart speed.

However, when you are running at high speeds, or just want the fastest possible screen update, you may want to use the HyperScrollfeature. When you change the Ping Speed to any setting greater than 50 per- cent, the unit automatically enters HyperScroll mode.

The faster ping rate allows you to maintain a high-detail picture on the screen. The screen refresh rate and chart scroll speed can keep pace with the boat as it moves quickly over the bottom terrain.
