order to assess individual sh size, the echo strength from the sh needs to be
computed and turned into sh size display on the screen. It can detect the sh size of
10 to 199 cm, in the depth of 2 to 100 m.

White Line function distinguishes sh from bottom
The white line function helps you distinguish bottom sh from the bottom by changing the strongest
signal color to white. This function is not only useful discriminating bottom sh but is also valuable
for judging sh school density. The setting range is 0%-100%,
in intervals of 1%. The higher the value the thicker the line.

Post-Processing Gain Control
With conventional gain controls, changes are made for new
echoes only when a change in the gain setting is applied.
With the FCV-587's Post-Processing Gain Control, changes
in the gain setting are applied to new echoes as well as all
of the echoes already on the screen. Because the changes
are applied to both new and existing returns, you will be
able to quickly and easily nd the right gain setting for your
conditions.
