Live mode Displays the last few minutes of the Side Imaging history as a trail behind the vessel icon. The length of this trail will vary depending on the Side Imaging and Down Imaging range settings. The higher the range settings the longer the history length that will show up behind the vessel icon. Typically, it will display the last 4-5 minutes of recording. Live mode allows the user to quickly identify interesting areas of the lake and how they relate to vessel position. It also allows the user to scroll back and zoom in on a recently scanned areas of the lake to look at additional details of what was scanned. Live mode does not save any data. If the unit is turned off, all recent sonar history is lost. Vessel icon History trail Structure Saved mode Displays StructureMap (.smf ) files that have been created from structure sonar log (.sl2) files. Saved mode is used to view a map of the underwater environment that can be reviewed and examined either on or off of the water. It can be used when revisiting an area that has already been scanned in order to assist the user in positioning the vessel or locating specific points of interest.
