Simrad SX90 Figure 5 60 degrees vertical slice This vertical slice, which is presented by the white audio line in the horizontal picture, can be selected to any bearing by the manual training control. The combination of the Omni mode and the vertical slice will give an optimal visualization of the catch situation. -
Page 12: Stabilisation System
Simrad SX90 Stabilisation system The Simrad SX90 is provided with a stabilisation system. When the beam stabilizer is activated, both horizontal and vertical beams will be stabilized electronically for roll and pitch movements up to ±20 degrees. The beam direction will then change continuously according to the vessel’s movements, and... - Page 13 The RCG filter must therefore be used with care if scattered schools are to be detected. Ping-to-ping filter Thee Simrad SX90 is equipped with a ping-to-ping filter (PP Filter) to provide a clean and steady presentation by reducing the interference and noise. This filter compares the echoes from a...

Page 17: Examples
Examples EXAMPLES This page presents several screen captures taken from actual operations on fishing vessels. Figure 10 Herring On this screen capture, you can see that the sonar has detected three schools of herring. The skipper has decided to catch the school with highest density, and this is the school closest to the vessel. - Page 18 Simrad SX90 Figure 12 Mackerel (1) This image shows a school of mackerel detected at 40 degrees starboard and marked as target "6". The sonar is operated in mode with full screen view. The operational range is 2000 meter, and the vertical tilt is set to 5 degrees.
- Page 19 Examples Figure 14 Tuna detection in the Atlantic Ocean (1) The screen capture from a Spanish vessel operating in the Atlantic Ocean shows scattered Yellow fin tuna very close to the surface. The school was first detected at around 1200 meters. The sonar uses Hyperbolic FM mode.
