Sonar Adjustment Options
Range—sets the display depth range used for viewing. The unit can
be set to automatically track the bottom or set to a user-specied
depth range.
Zoom—allows you to select a display zoom scale or to split
the display. When a scale other than No Zoom is selected, the
Adjustment menu shows a new selection labeled View or Span. The
Zoom function is divided into six display levels:
• 2X Split—shows two reduced-size sonar pictures at the same
time. The right half shows the complete sonar picture at its
original scale. The left half shows a portion of the original
picture at 1/2 depth scale.
• 2X Zoom—shows the 2X zoomed picture on the full screen.
• 4X Split—shows two reduced pictures, the right at the
original depth scale and the left at 1/4 the original depth scale.
