10.5 Echo Strength

The Echo Strength display is not generally available to most Isis users. Echo
Strength displays data saved in a very specific XTF format received from an
EMG-2 input device.
Echo Strength recreates a facsimile of a paper-chart representation of subsea
acoustic reflectivity data and displays it on the Isis screen (Figure 10-14). In the
display, up to 10 lines are drawn, each representing the amount of energy
received over a user-controlled interval of time.
When the Echo Strength window is opened (WindowEcho Strength), a status
window also appears which displays all 10 relative signal strength values along
with all telemetry/status information as logged with the original data
(Figure 10-15).

By right-clicking in the scrolling window of the Echo Strength data imagery, you
can set display parameters and line colors to be used with this type of imagery.
