Changing The Size Of The Echogram Views; Defining The Ping (Transmission) Modes - Simrad ES80 Reference Manual

Changing the size of the echogram views

You can modify the size of each individual echogram view in the ES80 presentation.
Context
The physical size of each echogram view can be changed individually. The content in
a view that changes size will automatically be adjusted to take full advantage of the
space available. The modifications you make are erased when you select one of the
tabs on the bottom bar.
Tip
When two or more echograms are shown, you can use the
which order - from top to bottom or left to right - you wish to see the echogram channels.
The bottom bar in the ES80 presentation allows you to select which echogram views
you wish to see, and how these are organized. The number of tabs available on the
bottom bar depends on how many channels your ES80 has. In this context, the phrase
channel is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer
and operating frequency.
Procedure
1 Move the cursor to the border line between two echogram views.
Observe that the cursor changes its shape; it now appears as two parallel lines with
arrows pointing sideways or up/down.
2 Change the size of the view.
a Click on the left mouse button, and keep it depressed.
b Move the mouse - or roll the control wheel - and observe that the border
line moves.
c Release the mouse button when the border line has been moved to desired
position.

Defining the ping (transmission) modes

You can easily control how often the ES80 shall transmit acoustic energy (a "ping")
into the water. You can disable the transmission altogether, set it to operate as fast as
possible, or select a timed interval.
Context
Once pinging is On, use the
transmit. This function allows you to control the behavior of the transmissions
("pinging").
• If you choose Single Ping, you can transmit single pings by clicking the ping symbol
on the button.
