Title: split screen readings
Post by: T.G on July 27, 2011, 12:07:01 AM: hi all, this maybe a stupid question but in the split screen mode with 2d /down scan,does the image start again on the 2nd screen or is it still scrolling across from the 1st half of the screen?

Each type of image stays in the same position on the screen.

In other words, the 2d part acts just like 2d if it was only on one screen but it takes up the left half of the screen. It will stay at the left half of the screen until you change the view. As far as scrolling, newer information is always at the right and older information gets scrolled to the left.

I hope this helps.
