Adjusting The Power Setting - Raymarine E120W Reference Manual

Chapter 6: Using the Fishfinder
TVG (Time Varied Gain)
The TVG (Time Variable Gain) reduces the clutter by varying the gain throughout the
water column. This function is useful for reducing the appearance of 'noise'. Increasing
the TVG value increases the maximum depth to which TVG is applied. Decreasing it
reduces the maximum depth. A low TVG value has little effect on gain in shallow
water; a high value decreases the gain in shallow water so that only the strongest
echoes are displayed. TVG has no effect in Fishfinder Simulator Mode.

Adjusting the power setting

The Power control provides adjustment of the transducer signal.
Auto
This is the default setting. When it is selected the DSM automatically determines the
required power setting based on the current depth, speed, and (bottom) signal
strength.
Manual
If you wish to manually adjust the power to suit current conditions, you can adjust the
power level between 0 and 100%, in 10% increments. Lower power levels are
normally used in depth ranges less than 8 ft. (2.4 m) and higher power levels are
typically selected for depths greater than 12 ft. (3.7 m).
When the power level setting is changed there is a short delay while the new
