Information panes

The ES80 offers several information panes to provide additional and detailed data from
the ES80 presentation. The information panes are opened and closed using the buttons
on the top bar.
Before you open an information pane, you must first click in an echogram view to make
it "active". By doing this you select the channel. In this context, the phrase channel
is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer and
operating frequency.
Select the relevant button on the top bar to open the information pane.
In most cases, the data in the information pane is only valid for the selected channel.
To close the information pane, select the button on the top bar one more time. You can
also select in the top right corner of the pane.

The ES80 offers the following information panes (from left).
• History
The History information pane allows you to view previously recorded echogram
sequences. Do not confuse this function with the recording functionality. The History
function saves the echogram images automatically on the Processor Unit hard disk
The information in the History presentation is the same as on the original echogram
presentation.
