I have a DFF-3D with a R599 transducer. It would be great if you could give a brief description of beam width and beam angle. I understand the sonar is detecting activity 60 degrees starboard and 60 degrees port for a total of 120 degrees.
If I set the beam angle to 40, does this mean that each one of the beams are side by side covering the 120 degrees?
If I set it to 50, is there overlap?
What would be the advantage of 30 or 50 versus 40?
The same questions for beam width.
Is the beam width the angle fore and aft of the vessel?
Advantages of narrow versus wide ( I would assume if you were targeting deeper subjects you would sue the narrower beam to focus the power but would like to confirm)
My goal is to set the scan to target a cross section in the 200 ft depth range. Then set my CH-250 unit to target the range beyond that. It would be helpful to understand the math of the setting as they apply to the DFF-3D to draw it out.
Thanks
