Title: XTM 9 HDSI 180 T display options
Post by: D S on January 10, 2014, 05:15:28 PM: can I trick this transducer to display the Si images as shown on the quadrabeam split screen in my manual for my 798 if I select quadrabeam in the menu selections??
thought it might be good for ice fishing application.....or do I infact need a quadrabeam ducer for that display?
ps will it damage anyting if I try this setting??

Give it a try and see what you get – it should work as all of the same connections to the transducer are used though the programming will be different. It should not hurt either the transducer or the unit.

If anyone would like to try it, you get some very interesting results! ;)

Post by: D S on January 20, 2014, 05:07:04 PM: tried the Quad view but view on screen look too small on 798 for me to watch while ice fishing ..
so ended up going back to 2d view with RTS window wide max mode outstanding while ice fishing i prefer it to then flasher view as it shows history for you
BTW any onyone know the resolution of the flasher view for comparison sake? vs the standard 2d in max mode??

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on January 28, 2014, 10:22:42 AM: I think that the Circular Flasher View has 256 divisions while your 798 has 640 vertical pixels.
