Real Time Sonar Window - Teleflex TFX320 Operation Manual

USING THE 320 SERIES
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
This scale indicates the distance from the
surface of the water to a depth range
sufficient to show the bottom. For
example, in 18 feet of water a
20 foot depth range is selected. The
depth range scale can be controlled
automatically or manually depending on
the mode of operation. In automatic and
bottom lock mode, the 320 selects the
depth range. In manual mode the depth
range is selected by the user.
The sonar returns received by the 320 are
displayed along the depth range scale in a
Real Time Sonar (RTS) Window and Chart
Window. The RTS Window displays new
sonar information within the transducer
cone in an expanded easy to see format;
the Chart Window logs old RTS Window
information to show a contour view of
the bottom and structure.

The Real Time Sonar (RTS) window shows
instantaneous sonar returns from the
bottom, structure and fish that are within
the transducer beam. The RTS window
updates with new sonar information much
more quickly than the chart window - up to
30 times per second in shallow water. The
RTS window responds to quickly changing
depths similar to a flasher. Interpreting the
RTS information requires some skill; however
comparing the RTS presentation with the
information on the chart window makes it
easy to understand.
