Panoptix Transducer Installation Settings
From a Panoptix™ 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.
- Bow Offset
-
Sets the distance between the bow and the forward view Panoptix transducer installation location. This allows you to view the forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer location.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the Garmin FrontVü™, LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.
- Beam Width
-
Sets the width of the down view Panoptix transducer beam. Narrow beam widths allow you to see deeper and farther. Wider beam widths allow you to see more coverage area.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the Garmin FrontVü, LiveVü Down, and LiveVü Forward sonar views.
-
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 Panoptix transducers with an internal compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.
- Orientation
-
Controls if the transducer is in down or forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS sensor to determine the orientation.
This applies to PS22 transducers.
- Restore Sonar Defaults
-
Restores the sonar settings to the factory default values.
