Hi

For live Sidescan Mosaic used  DrDepth 3.9 on the laptop via Ethernet cable on my 898. Does this also work with Generation Helix?

Helix Series Units / Low voltage issues

« Last post by JWN on September 18, 2024, 05:11:06 PM »

So, I have a Helix 10 which is from when they first came out. Everything works great still except it continually shuts down due to low voltage. I traced the voltage from the battery through fuse box ect, and have high 12 to low 13's right up to the head unit. The power port male side has good voltage but when plugged into the head unit the head unit only read 10V or less usually, on a rare occurrence    I may see a 11v reading but rare. I have cleaned all connections and no change. Anyone have a solution to this issue?

Sorry, I don't quite understand. In the track color section, only the color distance of the active track is set.
You write<< Color by Depth>>. Where exactly is this menu? I can't find it in my Menu 698c.
Wow, someone didn’t like creating their own maps using colored tracks and Autochart Live  function, it became scary.
Do you have a photo of what the color tracks ended up looking like in depth?

Something like this. It is an unfinished map. Color by depth are those green lines.
You can find more about that here:http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=6040.0

Here is info from the manual  ...





And the menus in the core unit  ...


I experimented in simulator but it’s not a valid representation because there is very little depth change in the simulator recording to see the effect of color changing in the Current track  ...

Bricked ?   You mean dead or no working fish finder ?

Bricked is the forum’s jargon of making the unit unusable to the point is has to be sent back to Humminbird for repair  ...

Kinda like the “blue screen of death” in a Windows PC  ...

Both, it is the same feature as I understand it. Under track color, you can select Color by depth and the color range allow you to set the range of depths for the color. In other words, how deep is the full dark color.
