Side scan data is displayed in the Side Scan View window (also called the “waterfall” view). This window can be undocked and moved to another position.
There are two modes to display data in the Side Scan View window:
• Raw: (the unprocessed sonar data). In raw mode the across-track axis represents time, thus the data is shown in the sequence in which it was received. The central portion of the image still displays the water column. This mode will always show the raw data for the selected track line.
• Processed: (the processed sonar data). In processed mode the across-track scale represents distance. The water column is no longer visible as it is removed during the automatic slant range correction. (The data displayed in this mode will reflect the configuration of corrections in the Properties window.)
