Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme.
Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help define the
hardness or softness of the signal.
A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the screen that
shows instantaneously the range to targets along a scale.
Pic. Advance: Allows the sonar picture to advance faster by drawing more
than one column of data on the screen for each column of sounder data
received. This is especially helpful when you are using the sounder in deep
water, because the sonar signal takes longer to travel to the water bottom
and back to the transducer.
The 1/1 setting draws one column of information on the screen per
sounder return. The 2/1 setting draws two columns of information on the
screen per sounder return, and so on for the 4/1 and 8/1 settings.
Fish Symbols: Sets how the sonar interprets suspended targets.
Color Filter: Sets which colors are removed from the screen.
Turning On the A-Scope
NOTE: This feature is not available in all sonar views.
The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the full-screen sonar
view. This feature expands the most recently received sonar data so that it
is easier to see. It can also be helpful for detecting fish that are close to the
bottom.
From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Appearance >
A-Scope.
Configuring the Appearance of Suspended Targets
NOTE: Configuring the appearance of suspended targets on one screen
applies that setting to all screens.
