Stabilizer

The button is located in the
Stabilizer
When the stabilizer is active, the transducer beam will be
stabilized electronically for roll and pitch. The beam direction
will change continuously according to the vessel's movements,
and thus be compensated whenever the vessel is out of trim. The
beam angle will always be maintained as if referred to a "flat"
water surface. When the stabilizer is used, this will also allow
you to use the PP Filter in rough seas. This filter will give a
cleaner and more stable echo presentation.
The first example in the figure (A) indicates the sonar beam
without stabilization, while the bottom vessel (B) indicates the
stable sonar beam with the stabilization in operation.
Note
In order to take advantage of this feature, and external motion
sensor must be connected to the sonar.
