8 Adding scale labels to the echograms

In order to identify the horizontal scale of your echogram views, you can enable scale labels.

Context

Small labels are shown in the bottom left and right corners of the view. These labels can contain time or distance to identify the horizontal axis of the echogram. You can hide the labels from view.

The following label options are available.

•

None: The labels are hidden

•

Auto: The horizontal scale is set automatically

•

Time: The horizontal scale is defined by time. The time shown in the bottom right corner of the echogram is then the current time (now).

•

Distance: The horizontal scale is defined by distance. The distance shown in the bottom right corner of the echogram is then 0 nautical miles (starting point).

This is a visual enhancement. The choice you make has no effect on the overall performance of the EK80 system.
