Panoptix Sonar Setup

Adjusting the RealVü Viewing Angle and Zoom Level
You can change the viewing angle of the RealVü sonar
views. You can also zoom in and out of the view.
From a RealVü sonar view, select an option:
• To adjust the viewing angle diagonally, select
• To adjust the viewing angle horizontally, select
.
• To adjust the viewing angle vertically, select
• To adjust the viewing angle, swipe the screen in any
direction.
• To zoom in, spread two fingers apart.
• To zoom out, pinch two fingers together.
Adjusting the RealVü Sweep Speed
You can update how quickly the transducer sweeps back
and forth. A faster sweep rate creates a less detailed
image, but the screen refreshes faster. A slower sweep
rate creates a more detailed image, but the screen
refreshes more slowly.
NOTE: This feature is not available for the RealVü 3D
Historical sonar view.
1 From a RealVü sonar view, select Options > Sweep
Speed.
2 Select an option.
LiveVü Forward and FrontVü Sonar Settings
From the LiveVü Forward or FrontVü sonar view, select
Options.
Gain: Controls the level of detail and noise shown on the
sonar screen.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns
on the screen, you can lower the gain to remove
lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to see
all return information, you can increase the gain to see
more information on the screen. This also increases
noise, and can make it more difficult to recognize actual
returns.
Depth Range: Adjusts the range of the depth scale.
Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically
keeps the bottom within the lower portion of the sonar
screen, and can be useful for tracking a bottom that has
minimal or moderate terrain changes.
Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a
specified range, which can be useful for tracking a
bottom that has large terrain changes, such as a drop-
offs or cliffs. The bottom can appear on the screen as
long as it appears within the range you have set.
Forward Range: Adjusts the range of the forward scale.
Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically
adjusts the forward scale in relation to the depth.
Manually adjusting the range enables you to view
a specified range. The bottom can appear on the
screen as long as it appears within the range you
have set. Manually reducing this option can reduce
46
the effectiveness of the FrontVü Alarm, reducing your
reaction time to low depth readings.
Transmit Angle: Adjusts the focus of the transducer to
the port or starboard side. This feature is available only
with RealVü capable Panoptix transducers, such as the
PS31 transducer.
.
Transmit: Stops the active transducer from transmitting.
FrontVü Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth
in front of the vessel is less than the specified value
.

Setting the LiveVü and FrontVü Transducer Transmit
Angle
This feature is available only with RealVü capable
Panoptix transducers, such as the PS30, PS31, and
PS60.
You can change the transducer transmit angle to aim the
transducer at a particular area of interest. For example,
you might aim the transducer to follow a bait ball or focus
on a tree as you pass it.
1 From a LiveVü or FrontVü sonar view, select Options
> Transmit Angle.
2 Select an option.
Setting the FrontVü Depth Alarm
FrontVü sonar and the FrontVü depth alarm are tools
for situational awareness only, and may not prevent
groundings in all circumstances. As vessel speeds
approach and exceed 8 knots, your ability to effectively
respond to the information provided by the sonar and/or
alarm decreases. It is your responsibility to remain aware
of your surroundings while underway and to operate your
vessel in a safe and prudent manner. Failure to do so
could result in an accident leading to property damage,
personal injury, or death.
The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms
audible (Sounds and Display Settings, page
to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property
damage.
This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü
transducers.
You can set an alarm to sound when the depth is below
a specified level. For best results, you should set the bow
