Choosing The Colours Used To Present The Echoes; Selecting Measurement Units - Simrad SN90 Operator's Manual

Choosing the colours used to present the echoes

Several different colour scales are predefined and available for the presentation of the
echoes. You can easily choose which colours to use. The presentation colours have no
effect on the operational performance of the SN90.
Context
Which colour scale to use is mainly a personal preference based on ambient light
conditions, the nature of the echoes and your own experience. Keep in mind that in the
basic scale with 12 colours, each discrete colour represents a 3 dB range of echo signal
strength. This implies that the next colour is selected every time the echo strength is
doubled. If you choose to use many colours, the resolution of the SN90 presentation
is greatly improved. It is then easier to distinguish the difference between the various
echoes of different size and/or target strength.
The

colours have been added between them to make smoother colour transitions.
