FUNDAMENTAL DATA SECTION
TRACKING MODE Display
Ground Tracking Mode : Shows absolute ship and tide movements based on ground.
(Bottom echo required.)
Water Tracking Mode : Shows movements of ship and tide relative to near-surface water.
Nav-aided Mode : Shows ship’s movement measured by the external navigation equip-
ment, and the tide movements based on the nav speed data.
Auto Tracking Mode : Uses ground tracking mode when bottom echo is available. Switches
to water tracking mode (or nav-aided mode) when bottom echo is
lost. Bottom echo is continuously searched for, and if re-acquired
the ground tracking mode is restored.
(*1) Manual bottom acquisition is possible to disable unexpected bottom search when bottom
echo is interrupted for a short period by air bubbles, or to avoid tracking on bottom fish.
(See page 2-2 to enable manual ground tracking.)
(*2) For efficient and reliable bottom search in the auto tracking mode, depth data from an echo
sounder can be used as a reference. In this case, “EXT” appears as a tracking mode identi-
fier. (See page 4-4 to enable external depth input.)
