This will make the ES80 ping with maximum ping rate ("speed"). The ping rate
is normally limited by the maximum range settings. It will also be dependant on
hardware issues. This may be, for example, how fast your Processor Unit can
handle the information from each ping, how fast your system communicates with
external peripherals, or how long time the system uses to save data.

Further requirements
When the ES80 starts, it is very important that it detects the bottom correctly. In most
cases this will take place automatically. However, we have experienced that large
schools of fish or difficult bottom conditions have deceived the ES80 to display the
wrong depth. In these cases the sounder may display the bottom at 0,0 meters at the top
of the fish school. In order to aid the ES80 to locate the correct depth, you must adjust to
bottom maximum and minimum ranges according to the actual bottom depth.
