LiveScope and Perspective Transducer Installation Settings
From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select .
- Install Depth
-
Sets the depth below the water line where the Panoptix™ transducer is mounted. Entering the actual depth at which the transducer is mounted results in a more accurate visual presentation of what is in the water.
-
Enables the internal attitude heading sensors to detect the installation angle of the Panoptix transducer automatically. When this setting is turned on, you cannot manually specify the installation angle for the transducer.
-
Available only when Auto Stabilize is turned off. Allows you to enter the specific installation angle for the transducer. Many forward view transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree angle.
-
Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when the down view transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the port side of the boat.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the LiveVü Down, RealVü 3D Down, and RealVü 3D Historical sonar views.
- Calibrate Compass
-
Calibrates the internal compass in the Panoptix transducer (Calibrating the Compass).
This applies to LiveScope™ transducers with an internal compass.
- Orientation
-
Controls if the transducer is in down or forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS sensor to determine the orientation.
- Focus
-
Adjusts the sonar view to compensate for the speed of sound in water. The Auto setting uses the temperature of the water to calculate the speed of sound.
- Heading Source
-
Allows the system to reference the heading source from either the transducer or a compatible Garmin® trolling motor This may help avoid interference from the trolling motor when the transducer is installed on the barrel. This setting appears only when a compatible Garmin trolling motor is detected.
- Heading Offset
-
Adjusts the referenced heading to match the actual heading, if needed. This setting appears only when a compatible Garmin trolling motor is set as the heading source.
- Restore Sonar Defaults
-
Restores the sonar settings to the factory default values.
