Zoom & Bottom Track & Bottom Lock
(Split Screen displays)
When using the Chart display (conventional down looking
view), the Sea Scout can also display a split screen high
resolution zoom of any 25% of the depth range, or can
show a split screen Bottom Track or Bottom Lock
display. The high resolution Zoom is very useful when
looking for extra detail on the bottom or in areas above the
bottom. Because the Sea Scout uses an Interphase
Zoom Bar
unique 4X over-sampling technique, the zoom actually
shows more data than the non-zoomed picture. Fishermen
have long used the bottom locking features when fishing
over a rocky bottom or when fishing in rough surface
conditions. In the Bottom Track mode, a zoomed view
of the bottom is shown on the left side of the split screen
display. Regardless of changes in bottom depth, the left
side tracks it and keeps the zoomed bottom picture in
view. In the Bottom Lock mode, the bottom is forced to
appear as a straight horizontal line across the bottom of
the left side of the LCD while any targets close to the
bottom are displayed above the bottom line. Over rough

bottoms or in rough conditions, this feature is extremely
useful to eliminate rapidly changing bottom depths from
the display and to show only suspended targets close to
the bottom.
Press the soft key labeled "ZOOM " to activate the split
screen high resolution zoom function. The left side of the
LCD screen now shows the zoomed area, while the right
side continues to show the conventional depth display.
Hold down the "ZOOM " soft key (or rotate the front
panel knob) and notice the vertical bar moving downward
in the center of the display which shows the depth area
that is being "zoomed". By using the "ZOOM " and
"ZOOM " soft keys, you can zoom in on particular
depth areas. The Zoom feature expands any 25% section
of the current depth range on the left half of the screen, or
effectively magnifies the section selected by the zoom bar
by 400%.
