If only one active frequency channel is in use, you will have only one echogram.
These tabs are then not shown.

These tabs on the
two transducers shown here are just an example. If only one transducer is in use,
you will have only one echogram. These tabs are then not shown.

Colour scale
This colour bar on the
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.
However, as the number of colours can differ, and dedicated colour schemes can be
used, this is not necessarily correct. A high numeric TVG value displays weak echo
signals properly while the stronger signals saturate into the darker colours. A low
numeric value displays strong echo signals properly. Weak signals below the lower
limit of the colour scale are not displayed (the display background colour is used).
