More options

Pause

The pause function stops the echosounder from pinging. The system is not collecting data
when paused in this manner.
Palettes
Used for selecting the image's color palette.
History ratio
Controls how much sounder history is shown behind the boat. The higher the ratio, the more
history will be shown.

sounder data points, all data points, or only points (objects) in the water column.
Depth lines
Displays lines on the screen that make it easier to quickly estimate depth and the underwater
objects.
