Bottom discrimination display

The bottom discrimination display analyzes the seabed echo to categorize seabed
hardness in one of four types (rocks, gravel, sand, mud) and shows the results in a
colorful graphic display. A transducer that supports bottom discrimination is required.
Graphic: The most probable material on the seabed
(mud, sand, gravel, rock) is indicated graphically.

*: The probability bar indicates
the degree of trust for the
seabed composition estimate.
(Green=Normal; Yellow=Caution;
Background color=Abnormal)
See the installation manual for a full list of transducers which can be connected to your
SMD7/9. CHIRP transducers are NOT compatible with the Bottom Discrimination fea-
ture.
There are two bottom discrimination displays: graphic and probability.
