Pinpoint Screen
The Pinpoint screen has regions similar to the Search
screen, and is accessed by pulling the trigger switch. The cen-
tral part of the screen is the Pinpoint bars which show the live
signal strength of the received signal, regardless of what causes
it. In the screen shown, there are three of these responses, one
for each frequency, again with the highest frequency on top.
The top region shows depth. The same status bar and Live Con-
trol Bar are also displayed.
In 3-frequency mode the pinpoint bars show which fre-
quency has the strongest response. In the example above,
2.5kHz is strongest. The outlining rectangle around each bar
serves as a signal “peak” indicator; that is, the rectangles show
the maximum peak the bars have achieved during the pinpoint
activity. This is useful in determining the exact position of the
target.
