6 Investigating the bottom characteristics
The Bottom Hardness information pane shows you the current bottom reflectivity. This gives an indication to how hard the bottom is. The value is calculated using the bottom echo strength in the current ping.
Context
The bottom hardness shown in the information pane was detected by the latest ping in the selected view.
