TVG

TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates

0-9

 

 

(HF,LF)

for propagation attenuation of the

 

 

 

 

ultrasonic waves. It does this by

 

 

 

 

equalizing echo presentation so that

 

 

 

 

fish schools of the same size appear in

 

 

 

 

the same density in both shallow and

 

 

 

 

deep waters. In addition, it reduces

 

 

 

 

surface noise. Note that if the TVG

 

 

 

 

level is set too high short range

 

 

 

 

echoes may not be displayed.
