Target Position information pane
The Target Position information pane shows the position of the detected single fish echoes. The three circles in the information pane identify the operational frequencies. The echoes are seen from above. The colours indicate the echo strength.
Prerequisites
The Target Position information pane only works when you use of a split-beam transducer.
How to open
To open the Target Position information pane, click in the chosen view to activate it, then select the Target Position button on the top bar.
To close the information pane, select it one more time on the top bar. You can also select Close in the top right corner of the pane.
Description
Each coloured circle in the information pane identifies a single fish. You can observe how these move through the beam. The colours used are the same as the colours used in the colour scale, and these indicate the echo strength from each fish.
The three circles in the information pane identifies the operational frequencies if and when you work with a wide band transceiver. The dotted inner circle identifies the low frequency in the sweep. The outer dotted circle identifies the high frequency. The circle between them identifies the centre frequency.
Tip
If you open the Target Position information pane next to the TS(f) information pane, you will see that each target in one pane is also shown in the other using the same colour code for echo
strength.
Select Setup in the information pane to open the Single Target Detection page.
Before you open an information pane, you must first click in an echogram view to make it "active". By doing this you select the channel. In most cases, the data in the information pane is only valid for the selected channel. In this context, the term channel is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer and operating frequency.
You can easily change the physical size and shape of each information pane. Click in its lower right corner, and drag to a new size. To reset the information pane to its default size, select the Reset size button in its top right corner.
The Transparency function allows you to adjust how much you are able to see "through" the information panes you have opened. You can adjust the setting from 0% (no transparency) to 90% (almost full transparency) in steps of 10%.
