Displays

PC/View has five different scanning sonar display
windows. They are VERT, HORZ, DOWN, VSPLIT
and HSPLIT, as shown at right. View a display by
clicking on its tab at the bottom of the window.
For each of these displays, the transducer icon
(shown at left) is displayed in its relative position
with a yellow line indicating the scan direction at
each instant.
Each display fills the current PC/View window.
Change the size and/or aspect ratio of the PC/View
window by dragging the sides or corners of the win-
dow.

Setting Color and Units

The color scheme and distance units can be changed
to suit your operating conditions and preferences.
Access Color and Units controls using the Setup
menu. Both parameters are consistent in PC/View
regardless of which scanning display window is ac-
tive. The units are also consistent in the depth win-
dow but the color scheme of the depth window can-
not be changed.
Display windows can be viewed in one of three color
schemes:
• Normal, a 4-color palette varying from dark blue
through red to yellow which is useful for opera-
tion in normal daytime conditions.
• Sunny, a 3-level gray-scale palette which allows
you to view contrast in very bright conditions
• Night, black, dark red and bright red which en-
able you to see contrast while preserving your
night vision.
Each display includes scale bars showing distance in
the selected Units. Units options include Feet, Me-
ters and Fathoms. The selected units are displayed
in the Status Bar for reference.
