Setting Options

Sounder name

Allows you to rename your sonar module.

Onscreen keyboard.

Ping enable

Enables and disables transducer ping.

  • On

  • Off

Ping rate limit

Allows you to restrict the transducer’s maximum ping rate to suit current conditions.

  • 1 to 100

Power mode

Adjusts the transducer’s signal strength. In Auto the sonar module will automatically determine the optimal power based on current depth, speed and bottom signal. In Manual you can adjust the power to the desired level.

  • 1 to 100

Ping rate

Hyper ping should be used at speeds of up to 40 knots in shallower waters (6 metres or less). When the depth reaches 6 metres or above the ping rate will automatically reduce to normal until depth conditions are met.

  • Normal

  • Hyper

Dual channel ping mode

On sonar modules that offer simultaneous dual channel operation, such as the CP570, The ping mode can be changed.

Auto the Fishfinder app will select the best mode chosen based on range settings.

Independent pings maximizes ping rate but may introduce interference.

Simultaneous pings reduced ping rate and reduces chance of interference.

  • Auto

  • Independent pings

  • Simultaneous pings

Tune frequency

Enables manual tuning of non-CHIRP single frequency sonar channels.

The adjustment range is determined by the transducer/sonar module.

  • Supported frequencies

AHRS stabilization

The AHRS built in to the RealVision™ 3D transducer is used to stabilize the sonar image onscreen based on your vessel’s detected movements.

  • On

  • Off

Reverse Port/Starboard

When a RV100 transducer is hull/step mounted the transducer can be installed with the cable orientated towards either the bow or the stern of the vessel. On installations where the transducer cable is orientated towards the stern of the vessel then the Reverse Port/Starboard control must be enabled.

  • Enabled

  • Disabled

Interference rejection

Removes interference caused by other transducers on your vessel or from vessels equipped with transducers close by.

  • Auto

  • Low

  • Medium

  • High

  • Off

2nd echo rejection

The control helps to remove false target returns or false bottom that can be caused by signal reflection.

  • Off

  • Low

  • High

Dual-channel ping mode.

On Axiom® Pro and Axiom® 2 Pro displays, when using multiple transducers at the same time you can balance the ping rate vs interference between the two transducers using the Dual-channel ping mode. option

By default Independent ping is selected, if you experience interference then you can ‘lock’ the transducers to ping at the same rate.

Locking to the transducer with the fastest ping rate should give the best results.

  • Independent ping

  • Lock to RV 3D Xdcr

  • Lock to <transducer name>

Reset sounder

Resets the sonar module to factory default settings.

  • Yes

  • No

Reset trip

In installations that include a speed transducer connected via the sonar module a trip log is automatically recorded. Selecting this option resets the sonar module’s trip log.

  • Yes

  • No
