of an area.

Recording StructureMap data

Use the log sonar option in the system controls dialog to record
SideScan data and convert it to StructureMap data.
The recording can be started from the system controls dialog when
the dialog is opened from the SideScan panel or the GPS panel with
Structure overlay enabled.
When SideScan data is being recorded, there is a flashing red
symbol and a message appears periodically at the bottom of the
screen.
Ú Note:
The message includes information about file size. Keep
the size of your logs to 100MB or less to allow for faster file
conversion.
The recording is stopped by selecting the stop logging function in
the system controls dialog.
Converting SideScan data to StructureMap format
A SideScan log file (.sl2) is converted to StructureMap format (.smf)
after recording from the recording dialog, or from the files browser.
You can create standard or high resolution files. High resolution .smf
files capture more detail, but take longer to convert and are larger
than standard resolution files.
To save space it is recommended to remove the SideScan (.sl2) files
after conversion.
