Title: Helix + Autochart Live = Real-time Side Imaging mosaics?
Post by: bigkahuna on August 11, 2016, 07:07:03 PM

I've been doing some homework on the latest HB SI sonar offerings and just want to confirm this is possible:  If I get a Helix 10 SI GPS will I be able to use AutoChart Live to record and display Side Imaging mosaics in real-time?

Next question:  can I use the Helix + AutoChart Live to record a chart as well as the side imaging mosaic at the same time?  Or do I have to do one and then repeat the survey to do the other?

I called HB but wasn't able to get a confirmation.  I found a video that shows AutoChart Live on a HB Onix 8si creating a side imaging mosaic in real time.  What I want to know is whether I can do the same thing with a Helix 10 with si?

I think Wayne gave you the correct answer on the other forum.

I got a reply from HB last night.  Real-time side imaging mosaics is only available on the Onix, not the Helix.  :(
