3. Using the Simulator
Simulator Mode
The simulation mode simulates main data sources, so you can see how the unit works
without being connected to echosounder, radar, GPS etc.
You can use the simulator to help you become familiar with your unit before using it out
on the water.
When the simulator is toggled on, this is indicated in the lower part of
the display.
Demonstration Mode
In this mode the unit automatically runs through the main features of
the product; it changes pages automatically, adjusts settings, opens
menus etc.
If you press a key when demo mode is running, the demonstration will
pause. After a time-out period, demo mode will resume again.
Selecting simulator source fi les
You can select which data files that should be used by the
simulator.
A set of source files is included in your system, and you can

recorded echosounder files in the simulator. For how to record
echosounder files, refer to the Using the echosounder section.
