Examples of data you can display

Echogram In the part Sensors Data of the control panels, Sonar Data correspond to echograms.Echograms are a representation of what is detected by the sensors with the acoustic signals. The strength of a detected target is expressed in Decibels (dB), that correspond to specific colors on the echogram. Blue usually represents the lowest target strengths and red the highest target strengths.To add an echogram, click + drag Sonar Data to a page.

Scroll to zoom in and out of the echogram. To change colors, right-click the echogram and select Show Palettes.

Data received from sensors are displayed on pages. Pages are organized in tabs on the top toolbar.

To edit pages, first click the menu, then Customize. Enter the password eureka.

Adding data to a page1. Open the control panels: click the small rectangle at the right side of the

screen.2. From Sensors Data, you can see the name of the sensors (e.g. Catch,

Trawl Explorer, Spread Master...) and data they receive (e.g pitch, roll, depth...). Click one tab to display the corresponding

page.

Multiple history plotsYou can add multiple data in one history plot in order to easily compare different data at the same time.1. From Sensors Data in the control

panel, click + drag data, for example Depth from a Trawl Explorer, to a page.

2. From the window that appears, select History Plot.

3. Drag other similar data, for example Depth from a Spread Master, to the first Depth history plot.

4. The second data appear in the history plot in another color.

When you have finished customizing pages, you need to deactivate the Customize mode: click Menu > Customize again.

Removing data from a pageRight-click data element and select Remove.

Saving a pageIf you made changes to a page, you need to save them.1. Right-click the page tab and select Save in Custom Pages.

2. From the Save page template as dialog box, click Save.3. The page is added to the Custom Pages. To see them, click the icon on

the top toolbar.

4. Right-click the page tab again and select Save Page Changes.

Receiver is active

Receiver is detected

The communication with the receiver has just been lost. There is a connection problem.

The communication with the receiver has been lost for at least 20 seconds.

1. Click Menu > Settings2. Select the tab Alarms.3. Click Add.

4. In Alarm Data, choose on which category of equipment, part and data type you want to set the alarm.

5. In Alarm Conditions, choose the conditions on which the alarm is triggered.

6. In Alarm Notifications, choose if you want to display a visual notification in the status bar (like in the big Scala picture) and a sound.

7. For example, with these parameters you are alerted when the catch is full:

Setting an AlarmYou can be alerted by an alarm when data received have a given value.

(blinking) data are receivedCommunication with the receiver has been lost for a few sec. There is a connection problem.There is no communication with the receiver.

Renaming a page1. Right-click the page tab and select

Rename.2. Write a name.3. Press Enter.

Changing the display of page elementsYou can change the title of the elements or the element itself (dial, gauge or history plot).1. To change the title, right-click the title

and choose:

2. To change the display of a dial, gauge or plot, right-click the element and choose among the different options.

• Font size• Font color: it

changes only the color of numerical data, except for history plots where it changes the line color.

• Custom title to change the default title.

On the top of the echogram, you can see:• Name of the sensor, followed by a

number corresponding to its location on the trawl (see Scala user guide for more details).

• Battery level of the sensor• Target Strength if using V3 Explorer

sensors (helps you differentiate species and sizes of fish).

3. Click data, for example Pitch, and hold your click. After 3 sec. a rectangle with data appears. Drag it to the middle of the screen, above grey stripped areas. The area becomes yellow when you can place data.

4. Stop clicking to drop data in this area.

5. From the window that appears, choose how you want to display data: dial, history plot, text...

6. Drag the lines around data to resize them.
