Title: Side scan colours
Post by: Tony Bennett on November 18, 2011, 05:17:37 PM: New 798 owner - so please be gentle
Where, please, do I find the colour change menu for sidescan ? Currently (default) orange - but would like it to be blue.
Thanks in advance ..... Tony

Sonar Colors allows you to select which color palette you would like to use for the display. There are eight choices; Standard, Gray, Inverse, Green, Palette 1, Palette 2, Palette 3. (White is the standard Background Color) Background Colors can be changed between White(standard), Blue, and Black.

Tony, I think this is on the express menu..color palette. I think you must be in advanced mode to get to this..
Do you have a paper manual or the disk manual...?

I've found the sonar colours - working with this menu only changes the down looking sonar, not the colours of side scan or down imaging.

I have the disc manual, but have downloaded the pdf file to my computer, so I can access it from my desktop.

Been trying to get used to my new unit - at home in simulator mode - I've opened up into "advanced mode" (which I'm not ;) ) but can find no way to alter the DI and SI colours so far.

Appreciate your help ..... Tony

Today, in simulator, I brought up the "view" which showed the screen fully covered by the then amber L&R side scan image - ONE press of the menu key brought up a dedicated menu with SI colours at the very bottom. I can now change the SI colours to whatever is available. 8)
I must admit, - this was after watching the hour+ long Utube video posted on the forum, as an aid to new users. I found this extremely useful.
Found the video here http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=2143.0 (http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=2143.0)
Hope this helps other newbies ..... Tony ;D
