Title: Pixels seem bigger on 2D
Post by: Poorman on November 02, 2013, 07:34:16 PM
My pixels are bigger on my 2d now. Not sure what I did to cause this. I am thinking the update did it. The smaller pixels sure make for a better looking picture. Does anyone have a clue what I need to do to change this back. I am running in clear mode.

There are many reports of degraded 2d in the new versions...

If you know what version came on your unit..you can back load that version...

If that version is not in the Software Download subforum...you can contact HB for the bin file...

It is not recommended to load a version of software farther back than what came on your unit...

The 2D problem with the newer software is that the pixels become larger and larger as the Chart-Speed increases.
You could run CS = 1 or 2 . . .  More so on the older HB units with less processor, xxx7 etc.

I restored my units to previous S/W levels...

That is a tough call. With the latest upgrade I have a clearer picture on my  SI. This came about when I installed the 6.40. Before this upgrade I had the 6.18. I now have the latest 6.74. I like to run my 3d at a faster rate. It helps me recognize stripers better.
