This is the system format.
Sound velocity output can be changed using
this method:
Control-U: increases from the default 1500
Control-D: decreases in increments of 10
When satisfied with sound velocity:
Control-S: save
Control-F: to reach desired output format.
Control-S: save again
Completed.

Step 8—Using SonarMite/HydroLite-TM
in the eld
The HydroLite-TM pole kit provides an integrated
survey solution, alowing easy mounting of the
SonarMite echosounder. The YouTube setup video
demonstrates how to assemble the HydroLite-TM pole
kit. At the very least, purchasing the mounting bracket
makes faster surveys.

the vessel. Over the side is usually preferred.
Aeroration from the engine in the rear can
disrupt soundings. The transducer should be the
lowest point of the vessel. When measuring for
offset of the rod height, begin at the bottom of
the transducer.
8b. The pole should be positioned as straight as
possible. This may change when the operator
or passengers are on the vessel. It is always a
good policy to note the draft of the transducer.
8c. Typical survey speed in between two and four
mph. The slower that the vessel is traveling, the
more soundings can be logged. Surveying in
a grid format is the best way to ensure proper
coverage of the survey area.
