Advance Speed
The picture advance speed determines how
quickly the vertical scan lines run across
the screen. When choosing a picture
advance speed, keep in mind that a fast
advance speed will expand the size of the
fish school horizontally on the screen and a
slow advance speed will contract it. Note
that the picture is not refreshed when
picture advancement is stopped. Therefore,
use caution when steering the vessel under
this condition.
