  -Chart
All changes are made via the Increment / Decrement keys:
   Depressing the Chart key once will display whether the chart recorder is On/Off
   -  a second time will allow you to set the chart recorder speed to slow/fast
   -  a third time will allow you to set the chart lamp Off/Hi/Lo
   -  a fourth time will allow you to set the contrast of the chart recorder to Lo/Med/Hi
  -  a fifth time will allow you to reset the paper guage (% of paper remaining) after installing a new chart roll.

-Depth Alarms
Both Shallow and Deep depth limits can be set. Upon either condition, the audible alarm will sound and ALM S or ALM D will be shown on the LCD
  Depressing the Alarm key once will display the Alarm status Off/On, depress again to enable (if Off). 
Depress again to set the shallow limit, and again to set the deep limit. Use < | > to step thru the values.
Depress Enter to accept the changes.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  -Sound Velocity

Once depressed, the user may change the sound velocity using the Increment/Decrement keys this value may be adjusted from:
4600 - 5250 feet/second (1393 - 1590 meters/second)
Once the desired value is displayed, depress the Enter key to return to previously viewed display.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  -Offset
this function allows the user to compensate for vessel draft, tide, etc. or for difference in transducer depth and a historical waterline reference.
A value from 0 to +30 in tenths of feet may be entered via the < | > keys , press Enter to accept the changes.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
-COM / Frequency Selection
During Power Up, the current frequency will be displayed, to CHANGE the frequency press COM , select the NEW frequency using the < | > keys. Press ENTER to accept the changes.

ATLAS DESO-25
ODOM Digitrace
ODOM Echotrac
NMEA DBT (depth below transducer)
NMEA DBS
-Geographic Position
NMEA-0183 GGA or GLL Format from GPS/DGPS
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Mark
Depressing the Mark key causes a vertical fix (event) line to be printed across the chart; holding down this key (for 3 seconds or greater) will result in the printing of depth, position and other important parameters along this vertical line.
  Depth records can be date/time tagged externally or by using the manual input via the keypad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Feet/Meters

Depressing this key toggles the chart presentation, digital display and data output between feet and meters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Gain

The user controls receiver gain manually, or selects automatic receiver gain control in 6db increments

Depressing the Gain key a second time brings up the time-varied gain selection TVG to be displayed, when the user has finished making changes, depressing the Enter key implements the changes and returns to the previous screen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Tide / Draft

Compensation for the effects of tide and draft are included for depth measurement to surface. This adjustment is applied to processed output data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Power / Enter

User powers the unit ON/OFF by, depressing the Power & Enter keys simultaneously

Enter key is also used  to accept the parameter changes made in the various sub-menus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Gate

Depressing the Gate key once allows the user to view whether the Gate function is OFF,AUTO, or in Manual mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Arrow Keys

Used to select frequency, also increment and decrement through the various menu parameters.
