Water Speed Averaging

Averages water speed by measuring your speed at a selected interval of time. Water

speed intervals range from one to thirty seconds. If you select five seconds, your water

speed will be recorded every five seconds, then averaged.

Calibration range: 1-30 seconds. Default is 1 second.

Temperature Calibration

Temperature calibration is used to adjust the water temperature value from the echo

sounder transducer to match the data from another temperature sensor.

Calibration range: -9.9° - +9.9°. Default is 0°.

Transducer Type

Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the echo

sounder module. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the

temperature may not be correct if the correct transducer is not selected from the

transducer type menu.

See compatible transducer list

Note: Other depth sources will have their own calibration
